This course is designed for artists who desire to deepen their approach to clay or explore new directions. Students who have no experience with clay or art at all will find no prior experience is necessary to discover the joys of one’s own creative process. Explore surface treatments from objects found in nature. Project ideas and instruction will be constant for those preferring direction. Adventuresome newcomers and experienced artists will receive coaching and support for their personal projects of choice.
