Students will have a blast creating their own unique bowls, pots, animal figures, beads, or anything else they can imagine! The workshop will also develop connections between clay and nature by using nature as inspiration for ceramic forms.   Handbuilding, pinching, coiling, and sculpting will be explored, with plenty of room for guided exploration within the student's individual interest.  Exploration of various methods of using glaze and colorants as well as the process of glazing and firing the clay will be included in this class.  All pottery and glaze used at Mud Slingers is food safe.   Students will also observe a demonstration on the wheel by a studio member.  All clay, tools and materials will be provided.   Plan to come to this class and have a fun time exploring your ventures with clay!  Projects will be glazed on the last day of class.  Pottery will be fired and ready for pick up within two weeks.      <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Mud Slingers Pottery & Glass Studio 9 Union Street N Suite 150 Concord, NC  28025 704-796-1600 Master and VISA Cards accepted    Mud Slingers is located in the Paramount Building across from Hotel Concord on Union Street.  Look for the red canopy - go under the canopy through the double doors.  We are in the back of the building.
