Have you been interested in dedicating time to your clay practice, or starting one? Our 10 week adult clay courses are the perfect opportunity for both beginners, intermediate and advanced clay artists!
Our instructor, Kelly McLaughlin will walk you through integral knowledge to begin your clay journey, such as wedging, making slabs, pinching/coiling and wheel throwing methods to create sculptural or functional pieces to use in your own home! Glazing, studio safety and etiquette will also be discussed.
All work will be fired here at the studio, and you will recieve your first 25 lbs of clay with registration. Additional bags of clay can be purchased, and include the cost of firing and glazes.
"Class Clay" is $35.00 per 25 lb bag. You are also welcome to purchase "Reclaim Class Clay" for $22.50 per 25 lb bag, which is often more soft. Tools are also available for purchase, and you are welcome to bring your own. No outside clays or glazes are allowed in the RLCC studio. Underglazes are ok.
A private shelf will be provided for each student enrolled to store their work and/or tools. Just note that it is in a public work space, and RLCC is not responsible for belongings stored on your shelf.
