Service Description
Week-Long Ceramics Intensive Location: 907 S Lombard Avenue Max: 8 students max: 4 students min Teachers: Belen and Tyler Take your ceramics practice to the next level with our experienced Slowfire teachers. This immersive camp is designed for students who already have foundational skills and are ready to strengthen their wheel-throwing and handbuilding techniques. Throughout the week, you will refine form, practice consistency, and explore more complex approaches to shaping and altering clay. The final two days will focus on advanced handbuilding, sculptural development, surface design, and glazing. Whether you are creating refined functional work or pushing into sculptural exploration, you will have the space and guidance to expand your artistic voice. What’s Included: All materials—clay, glazes, and everything you need for kiln and glaze firings—are included in the course fee. We take care of everything from clay recycling to kiln loading, sanding, glaze making, and more. This is reflected in the course cost, ensuring a top-notch experience! Why This Camp is Perfect for You: With a small student-to-teacher ratio and dedicated instructors, you’ll get personalized attention and guidance. We focus on developing technical skills while encouraging you to explore your unique artistic voice. Our teaching style is inclusive and welcoming, and we proudly support the LGBTQ+ community.
