Max. 10 students, ages 16 and up.

Student attention will be centered on Native American Ceramics when the instructor calls them to class with his flute. Early in the week students will make and decorate beads which will be incorporated into dream catchers at the end of the week.

Students may choose to make either a hollow sculpture or a hand formed vessel.  After viewing instructor demonstrations and examples, students will wedge clay, and begin forming the animal of their choice.  Students will incise, scribe, and pierce details into the form to create fur and feathers as needed.  These will be signed and carefully dried before firing.  

The instructor will discuss the importance and significance of dream catchers and tell stories while they are being formed.

‍Lab Fee: $5 for glaze, kiln firing.
