Introduction to Pottery
Spend a week this summer in a clay studio making your own one of a kind pots, vessels or even masks. In this workshop, students will create pots or masks (for masks, students will work with a partner to make a plaster mold of their face).  Using this mold as a base, students will complete two masks - one a likeness of themselves and one creative interpretive or fantasy mask.  If you like surprises, they you'll love exploring alternative methods pottery decoration.  Dipping, pouring, carving, and painting are just some of the many ways of treating the surface of clay.  We will explore these and other exciting methods of creating beautiful one of a kind pottery.  Beginning July 6th, students are given the opportunity to spend a week in a clay studio making one of a kind pots, vessels, or masks through an Introduction to Pottery class.
