	Adult Classes WINTER / SPRING 2010 Session 2 : February 22 – April 10

	EARTHENWARE: Construction & Surface All level class Wednesdays 9:30 am - 12:30 pm KARI SMITH Lab fee: $20	This class offers an in-depth study of the potential in working with earthenware clays. Students will be introduced to various earthenware clay bodies, as well as commercial and non-commercial decorating materials including colored slips, underglazes, terra sigillata, and colored glazes. Through these materials and processes, students will gain an understanding of the brilliant range of both color and surface unique to low-fire temperatures. Various handbuilding techniques will be demonstrated, and wheel throwers are also welcome.
	HANDBUILDING WITH MOLDS All level class Thursdays 1:00 - 4:00 pm MAGGIE BEYELER Lab fee: $20	Santa Fe Clay offers a variety of molds from which students can build ceramic pieces. This class will guide students through the process of using these molds to create unique, expressive pieces that reach beyond the initial potential of standard molds. Students will use prefabricated molds as a starting point, a tool from which more complex or innovative forms can be created. In addition, students will learn to make their own bisque molds to create pieces not attainable by standard mold forms.
	POURING POTS Advanced Wheel Throwing Previous throwing experience required 6 week class, tuition: $200 Fridays 9:30 am - 12:30 pm MIKE JABBUR	Investigate various devices associated with pots that pour, including pulled, wheel thrown, and hand built spouts. Pouring pots have a specific function, and the execution of their parts is essential to the performance of that function. Shape, placement, and size all play a part in how well a pouring pot will decant. Forms for investigation will include pitchers and creamers, ewers, and teapots. Demonstrations will begin with simple alterations to basic forms, and grow in complexity by combining several parts to make more elaborate pottery forms.
	FIGURATIVE SCULPTURE All level class Tuesdays 9:30 am - 12:30 pm RICHARD GARRIOTT-STEJSKAL	In this class, students will sculpt the full figure, busts and sections of the body. Proportion, gesture and expression of the human form will be explored. Scale can vary and surface treatments will be considered for sculptural forms.
