Prepare for the Christmas season by hand building a clay
nativity set. Each child will create a minimum of six figures
including people and animals. The finished pieces will
be glazed a single color and fired. This set will become a
family treasure for many years.
This four day course is a brief introduction to throwing pottery
on the wheel and hand building techniques, wrapped
up with finishing green-ware and glazing bisque-ware. The
first three weeks will focus on building clay sculptures and
the last week will focus on glazing. Students can picked
up final fired work one week after last class. Materials
included, open studio time encouraged.
In this basics class come and join certified Art Clay instructor, Cristine Grimm, in exploring Art Clay, the clay that turns to 99.9% pure silver when fired. Start out small, making earrings or small pendants with basic techniques that can be used anywhere, anytime, without a kiln. Cristine is a master instructor who will bring all the tools and tricks necessary to create something you’ll enjoy wearing or adding to your next beading project. Cost includes silver clay, the use of all necessary tools, and a necklace, ear wires or jump ring for wearing your piece out the door.
If you are looking to play with clay in a fun, creative atmosphere come and join artist, Lesa VanSingel. Explore the basic handbuilding techniques of coiling, slumping and pinching. On the third evening the pieces will be glazed. The glazed projects will go through a final firing and be ready to pick up after July 31. Bring a friend that also likes to “get muddy”.
Cristine Grim will teach students the process of using silver clay, texture tools, and torch firing to create a silver pendant. This has been a popular program!
These classes are funded in part by a grant from the FACF Youth Advisory Committee.
These exciting and exploratory art classes are designed to give middle and high school students a chance to learn about art styles and mediums they might not get in a classroom. All materials provided.
