Ceramics - Hand Building - Make a Tray or Plate

Time: Jun 21 10:00 AM - 12:30 PM
Host: Jennifer Cabala
Ages: 10 and up

In this hands on pottery class participants will have the opportunity to make one 12" - 13" plate or tray, or two 6" - 7" trays. With my guidance you'll design and hand form your piece using the slab method.

Once your piece is constructed, you'll have the opportunity to decorate it using a variety of techniques - choose from texturing, carving, and painting with underglazes to bring your vision to life.

While your tray sets up for the application of underglaze (approx. 20 - 30 minutes of drying time), you'll also get to make two small round trinket plates. These bonus pieces are perfect for experimenting with the decorating techniques you've learned.

After the session your pieces will remain in the studio to dry (about 3 -4 days) before being bisque fired. I will then apply a clear glaze and fire them a second time. Your finished creations will be ready for pickup in approximately 3 - 4 weeks, depending on drying time and kiln schedules. I'll notify you as soon as your items are ready.

All materials - including clay, tools, underglaze, and clear glaze are included in the class price.
