This two-day workshop will give you a quick introduction to both the potter's wheel and basic handbuilding practices. On the first day, CJ will teach you how to center and throw your clay on the wheel. Day 2 will be all about handbuilding pinch pots and small animal figures where you will learn how to properly attach clay add surface decoration. All completed pieces will be bisque-fired by Verge and available for pick-up at a later date. When you sign up for this class, you will also receive a 1-session lab pass to our clay lab so you can come back and practice the skills you learn.

About the Instructor

CJ is currently teaching ceramics and 3D Art at a local High School. Graduating with a double major in Studio Art/Art History from UC Davis in 2010 she found her way to teaching Art through working at Sugarloaf Fine Arts Camp, teaching abroad in South Korea and now teaching in her home region of Northern California. CJ graduated from Sacramento State University in 2017 with Teaching Credentials for Art and multiculturalism. Her own works range from Oil Painting and Mixed Media to Sculpture and Ceramics, often with a running narrative of her survival of Stage 4 Lymphoma. She uses her Art in a cathartic way, analyzing disease, trauma and survival. CJ has a strong sense of Art as a therapeutic practice and enjoys teaching to give access for anyone else wanting to start their own journey into Art.
