101-Advanced Ceramics
In Person | Available
Under the guidance of sculptural ceramicist John Reinking, artists will work with refined hand-building and wheel-throwing techniques to deepen their studio practice and expand their creative range. Participants will explore the possibilities of the medium, clarify their artistic direction, and build a cohesive body of work. A rigorous and supportive critique forum encourages meaningful dialogue and fresh perspectives. Weekly readings enrich discussion and inspire thoughtful inquiry, creating a space for sustained growth and creative exploration.
Tuition is all-inclusive and covers the cost of class instruction, use of all studio equipment, glazes, and the firing of your in-class creations. Clay purchases and tools are not included.
