In this class we will spend the first 4 weeks exploring various forms, made with the intention of altering them. Some carving will be explored when it works with the alteration but the focus will be on adding interest and movement to the basic forms such as: Bowls; Vases; Bottles; and Jars.
We will also discuss how the glaze can be used to enhance or soften the altered surface.
The 5th week is dedicated to glazing using crystalline glazes which will be provided to you by the instructor and the 6th week is dedicated to removing the pieces from their risers, grinding, and finishing the bottoms.
The last night, after the pieces have been finished we will end the evening with a critique of lid solutions and glaze results.
Ages 17 and up.

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.
