Joann laughs with Vickie while
hand building
a basket project.
|
Wanting to share the
process of creating in
clay, I expanded into a downstairs classroom studio. |
Saturday morning students
throwing pots on the wheel.
|
We have 6 potters wheels, and two instructors teaching clay;
wheel thrown forms, hand-building and mid-range
stoneware glazing techniques. We combine wheel
throwing and hand building to make vases, platters and sculptures. Students make 10 to 15
pieces per class course, and have success with results that they are proud to show their
friends. |
|
Students
learn to develop basic and advanced pottery skills, including throwing on the wheel, and
hand building functional ceramic forms.
Students finish their pieces with various decorative -fire glazing techniques. |
Lynn, Kay, and Morgan - 3 generations in a
Mother-Daughter class.
| Students have continued with further sessions
and are pleased. For adult students we are playful and intense yet relaxing. For younger
students, 13 to 20 years, we are college prep for careers in art. |
|
We are college educated and are
your "Resource Potters". We support the success
of our students. College art majors, elementary, middle, and high
school come to us to refresh their pottery skills. |

Our approach is like a college with each student able to create
quality work. We are told our student work looks like it was
professionally made. College instructors have too many students to
teach hands-on individually. Our teaching philosophy focuses on
demonstrations, working with each student individually making the
process productive and fun! |
