Crafting Connections: Adult Clay Art Classes

Unleash your creativity and get your hands dirty in this 4-week clay art-making course. This course is welcome to all-levels, meaning you can be experienced with clay art or be a complete beginner! There's something for everyone.

During this 4-week course, participants will explore a range of pottery methods, such as slab building, coiling, pinch pot, and surface decoration while using multiple tools and experimenting with underglazes to design their surface decoration. During the making sessions we will talk about ancestry, daily rituals, tomemic figures, altars and the domestic and sculptural uses of 'arcilla' clay.
