Have you ever wanted to step up your mold making game?  Do you know how to work with plaster, but just can’t get the process as dialed in as you want?  Do you have an idea for something to cast but can’t figure out how to make the mold?  Have you ever wanted to make something in clay and can’t figure out how to make clay do that thing?  Do you tend to think of mold making as too rigid and not flexible enough of a process? Well this is that continuum for you!

In this year-long course, we will dig in (pun absolutely intended) to using all sorts of local materials for pottery. This is a huge topic with endless possibilities. Practically any rock or mineral where you live could be used in a clay body or glaze recipe. We will be testing materials in different ways to try and discover the best of them. How can we use what is around us? How can we tweak what we have to produce results we love?
