Class Description:
Learn the glazing and surface design techniques of a ceramic artist—and then use those skills to make your own unique style come alive. In this quarter-long course, students will explore ceramic surface design and glazes using premade ceramic forms as their canvas.
Each project begins with instruction in a specific ceramic technique or design concept. Students will experiment with tape resist, marbling, bubble glazing, sgraffito, specialty glazes, and more while also exploring color theory, perspective, pattern, and the creative process.
Rather than following a single finished example (though that is an option), students will learn and practice each technique, develop their own designs, and decide how to put what they've learned into practice. The result is a collection of 6-8 ceramic pieces that demonstrate new skills while reflecting each student's individual interests and artistic style.
Each quarter will reinforce the fundamentals of glazing while introducing new techniques, creative variations, and different projects. Students who continue for the full semester will build on their skills while creating new and unique pieces throughout both quarters.
Your instructor, Keri, brings over 14 years of experience in education, including teaching K–8 art, teaching high school ceramics, substitute teaching, working at youth camps, and homeschooling her own three children.
No previous ceramic experience is necessary. All ceramic pieces, glazes, tools, materials, and firings are included. Classes meet weekly on Tuesdays from 10:30am–12:00pm, excluding school breaks and closures. At this time we do not offer makeup classes for any student absences.
Quarter 1 includes 8 weeks of instruction for $240 per student. Or students may enroll for the full 16-week semester for $450—a savings of $30.
Homeschool or charter school funds may be available to help cover the cost of classes. We are a Community Partner with Logos Public Charter School and are approved to be reimbursed through OpenEd. Please check with your school or program for eligibility and reimbursement requirements.
