Short Seshs:
We are excited to announce the introduction of a new way to explore the world of clay with our focused three-week Short Seshs.
We are convinced that instructor Alex Murray’s cat actually conceived and wrote the lesson plan for this Short Sesh, but despite the best efforts of our private investigator Clayton,
we have been unable to prove this theory.
The name truly says it all, this is three-week Short Sesh focused on the creation of feline centric functional pottery pieces. Over the course of this workshop students will create incredibly cute cat mugs with handles influenced by the shape of cat tails, bowls inspired by feline facial features, and cat food dishes that will ensure your cat or cats
(no judgement here) don’t experience whisker fatigue during their meals.
This workshop will encompass the creation, trimming, embellishment, and glazing of your one of a kind pottery pieces…meow!
Instructor: Alex Murray
Roll for initiative in a new way! Join us for a thrilling three-week, hands-on Short Sesh where we’ll delve into the creative realms of both clay and Dungeons & Dragons.
Craft your very own dice towers and gaming accessories using traditional hand-building techniques, and customize a set of resin dice. The adventure culminates on the last day with a three-hour D&D campaign, where you’ll use your newly created wares to seek adventure and glory. No prior experience with pottery or D&D is required to join
the fun and achieve greatness!
Instructor: Lacie Warden
Six-Week Sessions:
This spring at our Redmond Studio take your skills to the next level and join 24hr Pottery’s democratically elected president of ‘fire club’ Lacie Warden, in an exploration into the exciting world of alternative firings!
This session will be a robust introduction to alternative firing techniques and a required pre-requisite to future Advanced Alt Firing courses. Students will learn what forms are best suited for each of the taught firing processes, as well as spend time creating the forms they learned in class, either through hand-building or on the wheel.
Various surface treatments and firing processes will be covered including:
Glaze Raku, Horsehair, Obvara, Naked Raku, and Barrel Firing.
Instructor: Lacie Warden
Dive into the world of ceramics with this six-week course covering all the basics!
Focusing on one to two skills each class, your instructor will take you through wheel throwing, hand-building, trimming techniques, surface decoration,
handles, spouts, and lids.
Week six of the session will cover all things glazing related, and provide students with the knowledge and practice to confidently take their creations to the next level
through the application and use of glaze.
Instructors: John Masello, Alex Murray, Nathan Himes, Mahaylah Elliot
Our Intermediate Ceramics Session is designed to expand upon all the knowledge and techniques learned in our Introduction to Ceramics Session and take your throwing, trimming, and glazing techniques to the next level. Throughout the six-week course students will hone their skills to confidently throw with greater consistency and height while introducing new forms and projects to master.
Students will explore: Intermediate glaze theory and techniques, donut forms, oxides, and more complex trimming techniques.
*prior wheel experience required.
Instructor: Alex Murray, John Masello
This isn’t your Grandmother’s hand-building workshop!
In this session students will join forces with the wildly talented John Masello whose art weaves together the mediums of ceramics, plastics, and fabrics with a vivid splash of color to learn various hand building techniques that will be used throughout the session in the creation of abstract sculptural pieces, with the pottery wheel playing a supporting role. Specific skills taught include throwing off the hump, pinching, coil building, slabs, and extruding. Students will also explore different methods of planning and conceptualizing projects by using paper templates, sketches, and photographs.
