Ceramics I
Welcome beginner and experienced artists! Over the course of the semester you will create exciting ceramic projects from molds, clay coils and pinch pots, and paint with glaze, underglaze, and acrylic.
Ceramics II
Unleash your inner creativity! These hand built ceramic projects will allow you to explore your creative genius! Students will be guided through a project but the majority of projects will be of their own choosing. (It is recommended that the student has taken Ceramics I or another basic ceramics class.) Returning students will gain new skills through exciting projects according to individual skill level.

Notes:
*Please note: it is important to make as informed a decision as possible when choosing your student's Community Resource classes. Most locations will allow a student to drop a class after one meeting, at no charge if it wasn't a good fit for the student, but not all. Some classes plan ahead based on the number that have signed up and have purchased materials, hired teachers, etc. and there might be a fee for class time or materials given to the student if the student drops after one or two meetings. The school cannot pay for classes that students do not complete, so choose wisely; if you do not take the class off of your student's schedule by the deadline, you may be asked to pay for the class time incurred prior to dropping the class.
