Hi everyone! Misty Coss here, the Curator of Education at Studio 23. I’ve been hard at work planning our Spring/Summer Selection of classes. The new catalogue should be out in April so keep an eye out for that in our studio and via our email! Here is a sneak peek of our spring/summer classes. Registration for classes will be available in April.
Spring/Summer 2022 Classes
Adult Clay
There is no limit to what you can make with clay! These classes provide instruction for the novice as well as those experienced with clay. Students new to clay will work on projects designed to introduce techniques such as pinch, coil, and slab. Instruction is also available to those who wish to try the potter’s wheel. Roll up your sleeves and give it a try. Advanced students may work in their choice of direction. Various glazing techniques will be covered as well. Come with ideas and to meet new friends!
