Extra Practice Time: Enjoy additional open studio hours on Sundays, 12 PM–2 PM, or drop in during other class times for extra practice or to make up missed sessions. Curriculum: Week 1: Introductions, studio tour, warm-ups, creating test tiles. Week 2: Share personal project ideas, start creating! Week 3: Hands-on creation time with personalized feedback. Week 4: Mid-course critique to refine your work and inspire progress. Week 5: Continue creating personal project. Week 6: Finalize all pieces for firing. Week 7: Glaze all work. Week 8: Class celebration, final critique, clean up, and out! Why This Class? Our Continuing Clay Class is more than just a course—it’s a creative community.
