Ceramics Classes in Oceanside

"To form something with clay, whether to use or look at, is one of the most basic human experiences available to all of us." Paulus Berensohn 


This class is for beginners, intermediate or advanced ceramicists.  For beginners this is an introduction to basic ceramics.  We will work with low fire earthenware clay and use low fire glazes.  Various projects will include: pinch pot, coil, and slab techniques.  Intermediate and advanced levels may work on their own projects, or those demonstrated.
