Sunday-Clay-High-Fire-Fall-Schedule

Sunday Clay – High Fire! is a seven week workshop beginning Sunday, September 17, with a morning session from 11:30am – 2:30pm OR an afternoon session from 2:45pm – 5:45pm.  Dates of classes will be September 17 & 24, Oct 1, 15, 22 & 29 and November 5. Glazing will take place on November 5th, with pick up December 3 or by other arrangement.

Have you experienced the pleasure of putting your own handmade functional pottery into use? All skill levels are welcome to join us at Volcano Art Center’s ceramic studio where we will be working with stoneware clay and high-fire reduction glazes.

sunday clay kilnTeaching artist, Erik Wold, will provide instruction for this class including demonstrations of wheel throwing methods and be available for individualized assistance. Those new to clay will be guided step by step through the basics of using the potter’s wheel or handbuilding techniques. Continuing students and those with previous experience are encouraged to develop their skills and are welcome to pursue more advanced directions with the instructor’s helpful input. Informal discussion on topics ranging from sources of creative inspiration to various pottery styles and traditions from around the world will supplement this hands-on learning experience.

Eight registration slots are open to “wheel throwers,” and two additional places will be open to “hand builders.” Beginners as well as continuing students are welcome.

Sunday Clay Erik & VickiCost for either session is $175/$162 for VAC Members plus a $15 materials fee for 6 lbs of clay, which includes glazes and firing for that material. Additional clay will be available for purchase.

Open studio time will be available to registered students on Wednesdays from 2 – 5pm. Cost is $10 per day, with tickets available at the Administration Office front desk during business hours. Must be registered for a ceramics class to participate.

    Aloha.
    I am a new Hilo resident, although my son and his family have lived here for 25 years. I am so interested in joining a clay class/group, and I hope you will contact me.
    Mahalo.
