Description

In-person class at Fox Chapel Area High School.

No class February 3rd.

NEW! Students must have prior experience throwing on the wheel. Limited class size guarantees each student a private wheel.

Join professional potter Karen McKee this winter for a new hands-on series. Elevate your skills to a higher level!

In this relaxed yet focused workshop, you’ll have more time for lessons, demonstrations, and hands-on guidance, including:

• Refining your wheel-throwing skills
• Exploring glazing techniques
• Adding texture, pattern, and surface design
• Experimenting with creative design elements to make your pieces uniquely yours

Due to limited kiln availability this winter, the workshop provides an opportunity for you to focus on your craftsmanship and also learn new surface decoration techniques to apply to your carefully-crafted creations. The structure of this class will differ slightly from past pottery series:

• Students will complete up to 10 finished pieces, sized between 3" × 3" and 12" × 12".
• There will be one bisque firing after Week 4.
• Week 5 will focus on surface decoration and glazing techniques.
• One glaze firing will take place after Week 6.

All clay, glazes, and firing costs are included in the class fee and based on this number of pieces. To ensure fairness and kiln space for all participants, additional pieces cannot be fired or held for future sessions.

FCAAE uses a clay that is microwave-, dishwasher-, and oven-safe — so you’ll go home with lasting pieces you can enjoy every day.

Class-Specific Notes

Your class fee includes a 25 lb. bag of clay, all glazes and firings for the 10 pieces you create this winter.

No class February 3rd.
