New this summer is Teen All Clay Concentration for ages 13-17. Session 3 is an all clay session for teens. It is geared towards older students who have some experience working in clay or have worked with me in the past. Clay projects will be more in-depth and we will be experimenting with different clays and surface techniques. This session will include a special type of kiln firing technique called Obvara on the last day of class. Obvara is an Eastern European firing method that dates back to the 12th century. It is a firing process of taking pottery out of a red hot kiln, quickly dunking the pieces in a mixture of water, flour, sugar and yeast, followed by dipping them in water. The final surface results on the finished pots can be stunning. And it’s a really fun process!
