9 sessions: Tuesdays & Thursdays, September 17-October 22 (see below for details)
6-8pm*
Instructor: Lindsey Heiden
Class fee: $200
Registration will close Friday, September 13 or when sold out

This class is designed for anyone who has ever wanted to work with clay on a larger scale. Students will be making vase forms that are at a minimum of 10” with the tallest being 24” or even larger. A variety of techniques ranging from wheel throwing to hand building will be demonstrated to get the vases to the desired height. Within this class students will learn how working small and in parts can lead to building big forms. Four class sessions are designated for building the forms. Two class sessions will be dedicated to glazing and loading the gas kiln. And the last class will be unloading the kiln and seeing everyone’s brilliant work! Different glazing techniques will be demonstrated during these sessions. Students are also encouraged to stop by during the glaze firing to check out the gas kiln in action and learn a little about how it operates, though this is not an official part of the class.
