September Pottery Classes
Six Week Pottery Classes for Children Ages 6-15
CLAY ART CLASSES FOR KIDS BEGIN SEPTEMBER 8TH & 9TH
Outlaw Pottery will begin our new session of pottery classes for children the second week in September at our new studio in NE Hickory. Young visual artists will enjoy learning how to create art using clay and glazes. Students will learn the many techniques of clay art, including pinch, coil, slap, hand building and sculpture. Students will have the opportunity to glaze their own bisque fired pieces using painting techniques with bright glazes. Students can pick up their finished, fired pieces two weeks after the last class. Previous classes have created face mugs, pinch pots, coil pots, ice cream bowls, pencil holders, hanging wall pockets, sun wall hangings, tiki masks, snack bowls, ornaments and personalized painter’s palettes. The Outlaws offer new and fun projects for each class!
