Intermediate Ceramics: Pottery for Plant People 

Adults (16+) 

4 sessions 

Sherrod Faulks 

Get inspired by the art on view in our galleries, and work with a local artist to create your own wheel-thrown ceramic artworks for use with plants. 

In this multi-session class, we’ll create a dazzling array of planters, propagation vessels, bud vases, full-size vases, and plant accessories. Each week we’ll focus on a different skillset that will enable us to create a specific kind of plant vessel. We’ll then refine that form and explore topics of functionality and design evolution. After glazing and completing all of the work from the course, students will leave with several new plant accessories of their own design and a newfound understanding of creating plant-focused pottery. 

Level: Basic wheel-throwing experience required
