Clay is fabulously versatile and can facilitate all kinds of self-expression. This class serves as a great introduction to the material. The techniques demonstrated are flexible for students interested in either (or both!) functional and sculptural forms.

This eight-week class features instructor demonstrations, hands-on learning, and available Open Studio time outside of regularly scheduled classes. Students will learn how to pinch, coil, and slab-build forms with an emphasis on establishing solid construction skills. The last two classes will be devoted to enriching surfaces with glazes, underglazes, and engobes.

Tools and materials for this class are included with registration.

Join us for a hands-on, creative experience where you can make a difference! We invite community members of all ages and skill levels to come together to glaze handbuilt ceramic bowls. The finished bowls will be fired and donated to support local charitable events. Whether you’re an experienced ceramicist or new to clay, this workshop is a wonderful opportunity to learn, create, and give back.

Teaching Artist, Chip Wagner, will guide participants through the process of using brush-on ceramic glazes to give vibrant colors, designs and decoration to bisque-fired ceramic bowls. Your unique creations will the be fired in The Dairy Barn's kilns and donated to local charitable initiatives, including the Athens Area Mediation Service annual Souper Bowl fundraiser. This series of making and glazing events are available at no cost to participants, though pre-registration is required to ensure we have space for everyone. By participating, you’ll not only learn new artistic techniques but also contribute to a cause that helps strengthen our community. Come with your friends, family, or just yourself, all are welcome!
