Saturday

Have fun with Cameron while making the mug of your dreams! Kids and adults have fun together handbuilding with clay slabs to make the base and walls of their monster mug.  Cameron will teach the students how to adhere a handle to the mug with slip, scoring and coil techniques. Once the basics are built, it’s time to get creative! Add wonky eyes, crazy spikes, weird ears – whatever monster features you have in mind! Paint the mug with colorful glazes, and voila!  It’s a monster mug masterpiece! Each student (both child and adult) will make a mug.  Due to firing and drying times, pieces will be ready for pick up 12-14 days after the class session is completed.

Learn the basics of wheel throwing! Students will learn how to throw on the wheel and will decorate and add glazes to finish their pieces. A wheel throwing demo will be given and then students will work beside their family member to each create one wheel thrown piece. Students will add handbuilt embellishments and paint so that their piece is ready to fire in the kilns. Due to drying and firing times, pottery will be ready to pick up 12-14 days after the class session is finished. This class is recommended for kids ages 4+. Please note that children under 7 cannot use a wheel independently as they are not strong enough and must share a wheel with an adult.

Celebrate the spring season by getting creative and muddy! Each student will have the opportunity to paint a 4” terra cotta pot with acrylic paints and paint pens. When the masterpiece is completed, we will fill the pot with soil and plant a flower to take home. These projects would make a great Mother’s Day gift, or will simply beautify any porch to welcome the blooming season.

Come make your own personal soap dish! Students will use slabs of clay to make soap dishes of different shapes, sizes and styles. Then you can add colorful glazes and patterns. Kids and adults are encouraged to take this class together. Due to firing and drying times, pieces will be ready for pick up 12-14 days after class.

Start planning for Mother’s Day and make a unique handmade clay jewelry box for mom using clay slab techniques. Mom will love the creativity and love that goes into making these gifts! Jewelry boxes will be fired and ready 12-14 days after class (just in time for Mother’s Day)!

Have fun with Cameron while making the mug of your dreams! Families have fun handbuilding the base of the mug and building with clay slabs to make the walls of their mug.
