Take your ceramic skills to the next level in this intermediate wheel throwing class. This semester, you’ll work on a large project, complete targeted skill-building exercises, and have the option to explore an advanced ceramic art project. We’ll also discuss individual goals, keep a sketchbook and glaze journal, and support your creative process every step of the way. The course includes demonstrations and personalized, one-on-one instruction to help you refine your technique and expand your artistic vision. Optional “just for fun” class challenges and projects are offered to keep things fresh and inspiring. All students are expected to purchase clay through the Center Ticket Office for $50.

Experience the joy of experimenting with multiple artistic mediums at once and learn how to determine what media(s) to use when planning your own artwork. Each week, we will complete a different small project that uses specific multimedia techniques, and we will look at work by other accomplished artists using similar materials for inspiration. This is a great class to try many different materials and techniques on a small scale with the goal of figuring out what works best for you. NOTE: This class will meet on Tuesday of Thanksgiving week.
Instructor Allise Noble / Beginner & Intermediate Level
