What?
In this beginner's pottery class, we explore the colourful world of GLAZE! This isn't your regular pottery painting experience; we will be working with mid-fire glazes that produce surprising and enchanting results. We will learn and practice different glazing techniques, learn some basics of glaze chemistry, and finish spectacular stoneware pieces -- all in a relaxed and encouraging environment. All finished pieces are food-, dishwasher-, and microwave-safe, so they may be enjoyed for years to come!
Where?
Classes will be held at Carisbrooke Elementary school, right after school ends. We will all meet in the Thunderbird Room (aka the ELL room).
When?
Wednesdays after school for 1.5 hours, from 3:00 - 4:30 pm
8 weeks long
January 15 to March 5, 2025
(February 26 is early dismissal @ 2:00; glazing class will end at 3:30 pm)
Why?
Our goal is to get children excited about clay and all the possibilities the medium offers. In the process, they will develop their hand-eye coordination, expand their patience and focus, have fun getting dirty, and build confidence in their abilities at the same time. As we will be starting with pre-made bisqueware, the pieces your children take home will be fully-functional. Just wait; your child might just make you your new favourite mug! As always, the real end goal is the fun and creativity that is unleashed along the way.
how much?
8-week session costs $320. All bisqueware, tools, glazes, and firings are included in the lesson fees. Please e-transfer the full amount to VvNPottery@gmail.com once you have received the confirmation e-mail with instructions to do so.
