Ceramics Exploration:
This 4-week creative ceramics course is designed to allow students to work at their own pace while exploring individual projects that spark their interest.  Explore making vessels, tiles, or sculpture; try hand-building or work on the wheel!  Designed to encourage personal artistic growth and discovery, students will receive one-on-one input from instructor Steve Kline.  Guidance is provided in any direction you might wish to pursue, while stretching your creative muscles and learning new techniques. 

All skill levels are welcome. 

Class runs every four weeks, allowing for ongoing study.
