Functional Ceramics
with Christina Rhodes
This class is for all skill levels. Students will be guided through the process of throwing and finishing utilitarian forms. Students will be taught how to make forms ranging from mugs and bowls for the beginner to casseroles, pitchers and jars for the more advanced students. Students will learn the importance of creating utilitarian work that can be both aesthetically pleasing and used daily. The class will focus on a ground up process from clay prep to a finished piece ready to be put to use. This class will be a great introductory class for students new to clay and a challenge for returning students looking to expand their body of work.
