135 West Wieuca Road, NWAtlanta, GA, US 30342
Description:
A great class for beginners interested in learning how to make hand built functional ware out of clay. We will make simple mugs, casseroles, plates, teapots, and more using stoneware clay which will either be glazed by Kimberly at Chastain and high fired or you can schedule an individual 2-hr glazing time. We will learn how to create surface textures, attach designs, pierce, carve, including a sgraffito lesson. Students will need basic clay tools (sponge, scoring, flexible kidney, needle tool). This class fee includes 12.5lbs of 205 BMix Clay, 2oz of black underglaze, & a 2-hour glazing window at Chastain.
During the Spring 2021 Session, students will be able to drop off their greenware at Chastain during individually scheduled appointments for the first (bisque) firing. Materials are not included in the cost of these classes unless otherwise stated. Each bag of clay purchased ($27 for a 25lb bag) will allow up to 2 cubic feet of firing space. Overages will require an additional fee, $10 per cubic foot. If you would like additional glazing time, it can be purchased for a fee of $10 per hour. There will be a minimum of one-hour breaks between scheduled isolated glaze appointments for sanitization. Students will be required to wear masks and sanitize while at Chastain Arts Center.
If City of Atlanta reverts back to Phase I of the Mayor’s Reopening Plan, the building will be closed until we move back into Phase II.
