Join us for an intro to clay with Leilani
Come discover the joy of working with clay! This 6-week beginner pottery course meets Tuesday evenings and is designed for students who are new to ceramics or looking to build a strong foundation in pottery. Throughout the course, students will explore both handbuilding and wheel throwing techniques, learning the fundamentals of shaping, refining, glazing, and finishing their work. Structured skill-building assignments will help students develop confidence and technique, while still leaving plenty of room for creative freedom and personal expression.
Students will learn how to prepare and work with clay, create functional and decorative forms, apply glazes, and understand the clay process from start to finish. Along the way, you’ll have the opportunity to experiment, make mistakes, try new ideas, and develop your own creative style in a friendly, supportive, and welcoming studio environment.
This class will cover all stages and processes of basic ceramic works, from wet work to final glazing. Whether you are new to ceramics, or just looking for support/encouragement, this class is sure to check all the boxes.
Students are provided with unlimited open studio hours during business hours to tend to their wares between classes.
Class includes:
6 weeks of instruction meeting Tuesdays (7 Classes total. One week is off in order to allow clay projects to fully dry before firing *Thanksgiving break, after firing and glazing we will have one more class to show off students finished work)
Beginner instruction in both handbuilding and wheel throwing
Structured projects designed to develop foundational skills
Creative freedom to personalize and experiment with your work
Glazing instruction and finished kiln-fired pieces
Open studio hours for additional practice outside of class
All clay, glazes, tools, and materials included in the class fee
Whether you’ve never touched clay before or you’re ready to take your first steps into ceramics, this class provides a relaxed and encouraging environment to learn, create, and have fun.
Leilani Coleman fell in love with pottery while earning her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Colorado. For the past six years, she has worked as a full-time artist, creating, teaching, and selling her artwork.
In May of this year, Leilani moved from Colorado to the Portland area and is excited to grow her creative practice, and build meaningful connections within the local arts community while sharing her love for the medium with new students.
Class is held on Tuesdays from 6-8pm beginning October 20th - Dec 1st.
25lbs of clay is included.
