Continuing Clay

Take your ceramics journey to the next level in this 8-week course designed for students ready to refine their skills and explore new creative horizons.

 

This class is for those who already have a basic understanding and confidence in fundamental clay techniques

Working on a Pottery Wheel

Whether you’re focusing on wheel throwing, handbuilding, or a mix of both, this course provides the space, tools, and expert guidance to help you grow your abilities and achieve your artistic goals. If you're still building your confidence or need more help with the basics, we recommend starting with Clay 101 before taking this course.


Start with a Vision


We encourage all students to come to the first class prepared with a vision board of ideas! Whether it’s a digital board on your phone or a collage of images and sketches, having a visual guide will help you kickstart your creativity and focus on the types of projects you want to create during the course. Bringing inspiration ensures a personalized and meaningful experience as you work on pieces that excite and inspire you.
