Potters with experience will learn how to make more challenging forms that are both functional and decorative, using clay slabs and other non-wheel pottery techniques. Students will be pushed to grow their skillset, including forming, decorating, glazing, and adding personal touches to their work. After kiln firings, your finished art will be water proof and food safe, ready for you to enjoy.
