Making Pottery off the Wheel (and Candlemaking!) with Em Trentham   

 

Camp Description

In this class, we will make pottery using pinch, coil, and slab methods. Students will learn to make various forms such as mugs, bowls, vases, candleholders, and more. We will experiment with texture by using tools and pressing flowers and leaves into clay slabs. On the last day of class, while our pieces are firing, we will hand-dip beeswax candles to go along with our ceramic candleholders!
