Eastman – Fridays, Nov 5 – Dec 3, 9 am-12 pm (In-Person)

Whether you are new to clay or want to experiment with shifting scale and function, this class is a great chance to explore creating wearable ceramic art. We will cover small slab construction, bead-making, carving, sgraffito, mishima, and glaze alternatives. After our work is fired, we will experiment with combining our clay creations with cord, wire, and other materials to create finished jewelry pieces.

Note: No class on Friday, 11/26

Due to the spread of the Delta Variant starting October 1, 2021, The ArtsCenter will be requiring proof of vaccination and masks (as per state-mandate) for anyone who attends our ArtSchool classes and in-person performances. This was not an easy decision to make however as a leading community organization, The ArtsCenter has a responsibility to the whole community and feel this mandate is the most sensible safety measure.
Thank you
