IMPORTANT COVID POLICY UPDATE
As of Monday, February 28/22, visitors to SJAC will no longer be required to show proof of vaccination.
Please note that out of an abundance of caution, SJAC will continue to keep a mandatory mask policy in place for all programs (workshops, galleries, performing arts events, rental events) after the Public Health restrictions are lifted on March 14/22. We will continue to monitor and reassess in the coming weeks.
Workshop Description
Handbuilding Clay Objects: Before the invention of the throwing wheel, potters created functional and artistic clay forms. In fact, one of the oldest known handbuilt clay artifacts dates to around 28,000 BCE. Be part of this incredible legacy as Karen Knight teaches you the handbuilding techniques of pinching, coiling and slab work in the creation of your own designs. This 4-week workshop takes place in a fun and relaxing environment where the creative possibilities are endless.
