Class 52. Functional Pottery: Beginner to Intermediate with Tia Hill | Athenaeum Art Center | School

About the Event

Wednesdays, 6–9 PM
April 2–May 7
(6 weeks, 18 total hours of instruction)
AAC Art Studio



Let’s move away from the mass-produced and make our own set of handmade, functional pieces. In this beginner-friendly course, students will learn hand-building techniques to create functional pottery, including but not limited to cups, bowls, and plates. Starting with these simple forms, students will learn the basics, develop their technique and get creative! The possibilities are endless and students will be able to create their own set, unique to their preferences and home use. The last class will be reserved for glazing. While this is a beginner-friendly course, intermediate students may join.



Materials: Students must purchase a rolling pin; we’ll use these to roll out slabs. Please bring an apron, hand towel, and notebook to keep track of wonderful ideas. Students may also bring their own tools or purchase a standard tool kit if they wish, but not required. The $30 materials fee includes clay, glazes, firings, and the use of basic studio tools.



Max students: 12
