Clay- Handbuilding

Cups of all kinds; Handbuilding Based Workshop (1 Day)

by

This class is for those with some or no experience in ceramics. Varied demonstrations will allow for exposure to the different methods of making a ceramic cup by handbuilding methods. Important aspects of making functional wares will be discussed along with common obstacles potters face. Students will be guided as to how cups can be finished and will have the option to add a colored slip to brighten their pieces or add illustrative elements. All work can be picked up by a later date. Students are encouraged to experiment with approaches that will allow them to finish artwork in class while the instructor is present to assist them.

All work will be fired and ready for pick up in the Kimball Art Center lobby 7-14 days after your class. We do not ship class work.

If you have not received an email from us after 2 weeks, please check the lobby (sometimes emails go to spam or the email used to sign up is invalid).
If artwork is not picked up after 60 days it will be recycled.
 
*Since artwork may look different after firing, make your pottery or sculpture recognizable by carving a signature into your piece.

Getting Started Coloring Clay Workshop (1 Day)

by

This class will introduce students to the fundamentals of pigmenting clay. The instructor will discuss best practices including safety measures and methods for making a line of colored clay samples. Students can expect to spend time making samples of their own and as the focus of this one-day class will be on learning the above, there will not be time to produce art pieces with colored clay. Students can expect to have, by the end of the class, a small batch of color clay tiles. Time outside of class will not be needed.

All work will be fired and ready for pick up in the Kimball Art Center lobby 7-14 days after your class. We do not ship class work.

3D Art

by

A great class to learn about a variety of 3D materials. Young artists will start with a hand-built project in clay for the first day of this camp. In the following days, students will complete the clay forms and learn about 3D design by participating in a range of guided hands-on making activities. Small projects will include some traditional materials for design classes such as wire, cardboard and papier-mâché, and more.
