Ceramics - Hand Building - Sedona Arts Center : Sedona Arts Center

Description

Hand Building Ceramics

Tuesdays | 1-4pm | *5 Instructor-Led Class Sessions + *5 Open Studio Practice Sessions
(This is a 5-week session.)

Come play in clay! In this class we will jump right in by making some fun clay tools. From there we will create functional pottery and sculptures using soft slab, stiff slab and coil construction methods. There are tips and tricks involved in each of these processes and these will be introduced at the beginning of each session. This class is for beginners as well as those with hand-building experience who may be looking for some new ideas.

The Sedona Arts Center’s ceramic department operates free from the constraints of grades and benefits from the talents of its ceramic faculty and assistants as well as nationally recognized guest instructors. This combination allows our department to offer flexible and diverse programming in both traditional and contemporary techniques.

John Post

John Post lives and works in Sedona, and is a retired K-12 art teacher whose focus in the classroom was clay and painting. He holds a Master of Arts in Ceramics from Wayne State University in Detroit. He also has a Bachelor of Fine Arts with an emphasis in sculpture from Wayne State University. In retirement he works on creating functional pottery fired to cone 10 in his gas kiln. His favorite part of the pottery making process is creating new glazes. He uses an iron-rich clay body that bleeds into the surfaces of his glazes. These glazes feel soft and buttery to the touch while also appearing rather stone-like and natural. John includes new glaze tests in every firing to ensure that his work changes and evolves over time. The natural evolution in John’s work is the result of the joy he finds experimenting with glaze chemistry and because he loves to be surprised when opening his kiln.

First bag of clay included. Additional bags of clay may be purchased during class for $35 per bag which includes glazing & firing fees. Enrolled students may also participate in one open studio practice session per week.
