Have you practiced your clay-crafting and now want to know how to gussy them up? Or, do you wan to get some hands on experience with glazing before you go all-in on building your ceramic studio? 

Well in this class each participant will be provided the tools and basic information to work their creative magic on a stock ceramic work. Both glaze and under-glazing techniques will be discussed. 

*You may bring in a single small personal work to use instead of the provided stock ceramic work, but it will have to be approved by the program runner. (no personal glaze can be used during this program) Pick-up date for this project should be on Saturday, February 28th in the Makerspace between 1pm-3pm (and will be held until the next ceramic class date, after which they will become Makerspace examples).
