Ceramic Painting

Whereas air-dry clay offers a quick canvas for creativity, ceramic painting provides a more nuanced, multi-step experience.

Participants in the ceramic painting class will embellish pre-made, food-safe pieces with a vibrant array of glazes. After the class, the instructors will fire the decorated ceramics, and students can return in a week to pick up their finished masterpieces.

This process allows for greater artistic expression and control over the final product.

Ceramic painting beckons those seeking a more structured, layered approach to working with clay – a chance to unleash their inner artist and produce functional, personalized pottery.

Full Circle

Embarking on the "Full Circle" journey, participants enjoy a captivating two-part experience that grants them the opportunity to create and glaze their own personalized ceramic piece.

Over the course of two classes, students will:

1. Craft their unique design using a variety of techniques, shaping the clay to their desired form.
2. Return to the studio to apply vibrant glazes, transforming their raw creation into a food-safe masterpiece.
3. Await the final firing process, which takes approximately 3 weeks, before collecting their one-of-a-kind ceramic work of art.
4. Revel in the satisfaction of creating a functional piece they can proudly display or use in their everyday lives.
