Ceramic Sculpture
$325.00
Instructor: Mark Corwine
November 13 - January 22
Wednesdays 6:00-8:00
Students of all levels are welcome to join this class. Beginner students will learn to construct sculptural forms, and functional if they wish, with traditional handbuilding techniques. Experienced students will continue to develop their own skills and processes with assistance from the instructor.
In Mark’s own work, he utilizes metaphor as inspiration for conceptual meaning. With this in mind, he is able to speak a message to the viewer, and portray a sense of drama. Slips and glazes contrast with the red clay he uses thus increasing the variety in the color palette and help to emphasize different elements of the sculpture.

Beginner Wheel Throwing
$325.00
Instructor: Rebecca Nightingale
November 13 - January 22
Wednesdays 6:00-8:00
Beginners are encouraged to join this class. While most class time will be focused on making functional cups and bowls, as the students improve, other forms will be introduced. Students will learn basic techniques of how to throw clay on a potter’s wheel, decorate the surface of their pieces, and glaze to create beautiful vessels.
Rebecca recently moved to Wellsville from Rochester and has been a full-time potter going on 11 years. She enjoys carving the clay into different patterns and allows the glaze to work its magic over the varied texture. With a primary focus on making utilitarian pots, she often thinks about the function in how it relates to the finished form.

Advanced Wheel Methods
$325.00
Instructor: Kimberly Grossman
November 13 - January 22
Wednesdays 2:00 - 4:00
This class is recommended for those who have experience with clay. Students will focus on developing nuance and finishing their wheel thrown forms. They will gain confidence and hone their skills through each step of the making process as the instructor guides students through both assignments and self-directed projects.
Kimberly plans to focus primarily on throwing off the hump during this session. With the holidays afoot, this class is perfect for making miniatures, ornaments, and gifts for family! Learning how to throw in this manner encourages people to make several of a similar form quickly. Luminaries will also be made during this class, thus incorporating cut-outs and negative space into ceramic form and allowing light to play a part in the finished work.
