Have you experienced the pleasure of putting your own handmade functional pottery into use? Join us as we share inspiration and learn from one another in a unique rainforest setting at the Volcano Art Center’s Niaulani Campus ceramics studio in Volcano Village.

Teaching artist, Erik Wold, will provide instruction for this eight week workshop which will focus on understanding the essentials of forming vessels on the wheel. We will begin with the basics of working with clay followed by a step by step introduction to wheel throwing. Stoneware clays will be used and finished with high fire reduction glazes. All skill levels are welcome. Firing schedules may vary, depending on accumulation of wares to be fired.

$200/$180 VAC members plus a $35 materials fee which includes the first 6 lbs. of clay (including glazes, firing, labor) along with a facility fee. Additional clay will be available for purchase.

Our open and well ventilated studio includes a covered outdoor work area. Open studio time will be available to registered students on most Wednesdays from 1:30 – 4:30pm. Cost is $10 per day with punch cards available at the administration office front desk during business hours. Must be registered for a ceramics class to participate.

Erik Wold studied Art, specializing in Ceramics, at the University of Hawaii at Hilo.
