During this 3-week introductory pottery program, students will hand-build a large coiled bowl with air-dry clay as they learn foundational pottery techniques.

Week 1: Learn foundational pottery techniques, including coiling, pinching, and slab-building. Start by creating the base of your large coiled bowl and understanding the essentials of clay preparation, wedging, and centering.

Week 2: Develop your bowl further by practicing the skills of scratching, scoring, and slipping. You'll also explore adding texturing, decorative elements, and special carvings or engravings to personalize your design.

Week 3: Once your bowl has dried, paint it using a variety of techniques and colors. We’ll then apply Mod Podge to the bowl to seal the paint. Lastly we’ll finish with a discussion on how to care for and display your finished piece.

All materials are provided. No prior experience is necessary, just bring your creativity and enthusiasm!
