Typically, our studio has about 10-12 different glazes, with a combination of dip and paint-on types and underglazes available. We typically use Laguna B-Mix or Standard 112 clay bodies.

NEW! Narrative Hand Building: Storytelling Through Clay
Fridays 10am - 1pm January 9 - March 20 no class 2/20 Instructor - Alejandra Cuadra $615 + $40 materials fee In this class, we will think about the forms as vessels for narrative and storytelling. We will be incorporating coil, pinching, slabs, and even wheel-thrown to expand reflections of our interests. Drawing inspiration from the natural world, as well as from drawings, imagination, and history, we will explore how the vessel form can lead to narrative, storytelling, and connection. With a strong background in the human form, we will explore breaking things down from complex to simple to build upon and render what we see and experience, while incorporating our own perspective and vision. |
