Weekly Class - last class 5/31
Pottery Exploration (Fridays)
Joyce Scalzo
Instructor:
Fridays 9am-12pm
Hand building and wheel throwing classes. All levels welcome. Instructor, Joyce Scalzo has been throwing pots for 50 years and would love to work with newcomers as well as experienced potters. We will experiment with paper clay, sawdust firing, scrafitto, texturing, bubble glazing, transferring images and embedding natural materials into the clay. We will explore all aspects of clay. Wheel throwing, hand building, slab work, glazing and firing. I will help you find what you excel in and we will go from there. You will receive individual attention. If you have an idea in your mind, we will help you create it. We have a slab roller, extruder and wheels. You will be encouraged to try them all.
It is a friendly atmosphere. We will provide all the tools needed to work and we have a great time.
