In this class, we will be creating pieces to be finished with a crystalline glazes as usual, however this class will be dedicated to addressing issues you need to work on: Making the piece thinner, getting more clay up from the bottom, making lids that fit, or perhaps how to create more shapely bottles with those tall skinny necks. You pick the project and together, we will work on achieving perfection.
The first 4 weeks are dedicated to creating work and getting them ready for glaze week. The 5th week is dedicated to glazing as a group and the 6th week is dedicated to recording and sharing glaze results and finishing & polishing the bottoms of each piece.

Do you know with paper clay you can: Join two pieces of bone dry paper clay to each other without a problem? Scoring is not necessary? 98% of repairs made with paper clay survive firing! Bone dry paper clay is STRONG! Rapid force drying is A-OK! And lots more.......
You will learn how to make paper clay from scratch and then explore all the wonderful ways it can be used to make lighter, thinner and more flexible pieces. We will dip textures in paper clay slip, drape paper-thin clay over balloons and construct vessels that would be far too difficult with regular clay! This is a hand-building class only and some basic knowledge of clay is required.
Come experience the wonderful world of paper clay! Ages 17 and up.
