Start your weekend with clay! This laid-back Saturday morning ceramics class is perfect for beginners and intermediate students who want to get their hands dirty in a fun, low-pressure environment. We’ll spend most of our time on the pottery wheel, learning the basics of throwing, trimming, and shaping forms. Along the way, we’ll also explore hand building techniques to add details, experiment with new ideas, and personalize your work. Come ready to learn, relax, and enjoy a creative morning in the studio.

Looking to be a better storyteller in your improv scenes? Want to create scenes with a clear beginning, middle, and end? This is the class for you!

This class will not only focus on narrative games but also strengthen your ability to establish premise-based scenes.

To get the most out of this class, it is recommended that you have taken Fundamentals of Improv or have previous improv experience.

This eight week hand building class is a great way to start your week and do something for yourself! Students will explore a range of hand building techniques as they create cups, a traditional vase, unique vase or lantern, and a pumpkin. Of course, if your creativity is taking your projects in another direction, create what your heart desires.

With your class registration, you have access to the studio an additional two hours per week during Open Studio so the fun can continue (or so you can make up a missed class). Enjoy your Monday mornings doing something you love and have fun with clay at the Kish Center!

While drawing supplies will be provided, students are allowed and encouraged to bring their own sketchbooks/journals if they wish to.
