Arts & Crafts

This class will be an introduction to slab construction. We will make both functional and decorative pieces, ranging from slab cups, pencil containers, utensil holders to more decorative pieces like wall pockets and planters. We will learn about how to build three dimensional forms out of slabs, and will decorate these works in different ways. All work will be glazed, and we will be using low fire glazes and underglaze.
