Description
This course offers hand-building in Stoneware clay, a clay that is non porous and can stay outdoors in Canadian winter (should you choose to do an outdoor or patio sculpture). You will be shown various hand building, and glazing techniques, which will result in finished usable pieces. You can make bowls, platters, plates, vases, tiles, sculptures, wall hangings, trivets, berry bowls and candle holders for patios. So many possibilities! Lynn will give project ideas and demonstrations. You are more than welcome to bring you own ideas and you will be given direction as how to create them.
We look forward to seeing you create objects you never thought you could!
Wednesdays from 10.00am – 1.00pm
April 16 – May 21
Clay will be available for purchase – a bag of white clay for $40.00 and black clay for $45.00.
(Half bags of clay will also be available)

Lynn teaches students who wish to create, explore the medium of clay, and learn its processes. She aims to demystify the process and inspire creativity believing that everyone has the ability to create and that her workshops are opportunities for self-exploration and growth. Lynn also uses clay as a therapy for adults and children. She has exhibited her work nationally and internationally and continues to create and explore ceramics in her own studio.
