Details: We partner with regional senior centers to offer this online course. In this engaging class, we introduce seniors to the joys and fundamentals of clay hand building through Zoom. We provide clay, colors, and video tutorials for seniors to watch on their own schedule.
Structure: On our first Zoom, join us for the introductory online meet-up and techniques presentation where students will learn skills for each project. After each meetup we'll release a video tutorial project for students to complete by the following week. The final Zoom will be a celebration and exhibition of student work from throughout the course. There are five 1-hour Zoom meet-ups and four 30-45 minute tutorial videos.
Materials: Prior to the class, we'll coordinate a time to drop off materials at the senior center. At the end of the course, we'll pick up students' unfired pieces and bring them to the art center, where we will fire them with clear glaze. We will use low-fire clay and underglazes. Tools will be those that students can find at home such as a sponge, pencil, plastic knife, fork and spoon, a paintbrush and a chopstick.
Course Price: Course price includes clay, glaze, firing costs, five Zoom meetings, and four video tutorials.
Class Size: Ten students max per each Zoom.
