In this introductory workshop, you’ll learn how to make ceramic objects without a potter’s wheel. Instruction will cover the core construction techniques of pinching, coil-building and slab-building, as well as how to apply glaze to pieces once they’re fired. Your project choices will include a cup, soap dish, spoon rest, small bowl, small serving tray or plate, mug, pitcher, and pen caddy.

While this workshop is designed for beginners, it is also suitable for anyone wishing to freshen their skills in order to tackle more challenging projects.

In this 3-day program, artist Marlene Collins will guide students through the exploration of a variety of materials including encaustic painting, block printing, and pastel painting. The learning and exploration in this workshop is gently directed so students can experience success, yet still have the joy of self-expression.

In this beginner-friendly class, you will learn how to needle felt mushrooms that you can choose to have hang, stand upright, or turn into a fairy house. The instructor will guide you through the process and demonstrate how to create the shape, layer the colours, and add small details.

Still life painting is making a big comeback with contemporary artists taking a fresh new look at ordinary objects. Shiny wrapped candies, jars of pickles, a row of glazed donuts, a bundle of bubble wrap, a stack of fancy teacups, a hyper realistic typewriter … these ordinary objects are all the subject matter of gorgeous new paintings.

In this six week course we will work from ordinary objects such as a pair of boots, a stack of books, a cut avocado or a bit of driftwood. Learners will be introduced to contemporary still life artists, learn how to make a strong composition, learn to use lines and shapes to greatest advantage, and learn how to best use colour, contrast and temperature to make extraordinary paintings from ordinary objects.

If you have taken a beginner-level Intro to Pottery course (Ceramics Level 1 or equivalent) and can throw a basic pot, you can enroll in this course. During these next seven weeks, you will refine your skills and begin to develop the control to throw more specific and/or complex forms on the wheel. This is an opportunity to graduate from making simple mugs or bowls to making plates, large bowls, vases, and other tapered forms. As you become more efficient on the wheel, the instructor can work with you one-on-one in specific areas of interest.

This course is designed for studio users who have completed the Ceramics Level 1 course and are ready to further develop their throwing skills through structured practice and a series of fun drills. This course is targeted specifically at developing throwing techniques, and as such, trimming and glazing will not specifically be addressed in the course. Participants will keep a limited number of pieces from this class, as cutting our pieces in half or pushing the clay to its limits will be an important part of the learning process.
