Instructor: Megan Steinman

Dates; Multiple Sessions Available

Tuesdays and Thursday are now open to 6 to 13 year olds

(Previously these days were age specific!)

Time: 4:30-6:30

These classes are offered as a way to have fun and adventure into art after school has let out for the day! At each session there will be multiple examples avalible for the students to choose from, though there will be some kind of theme each week that the examples will relate to.  This can be as simple as "pinch pots" where the items shown are all pinch pots, or it could be like a "dish" which could be from a slab, made using pinch pot methods or other methods! 

The goal of these classes is to introduce different techniques for Hand-building in ceramics or to better skills a student may already have. In addition to this to have fun with the medium of clay, using new and different tools to explore all it has to offer.

 In this class using a lazy Suzan board along with small mallets, and their hands students will slowly work the clay upwards and out to create a medium sized bowl. Then once happy with the bowl, a lid will be made to fit ontop of the bowl with a stem handle made last.

These pieces will be glazed AFTER a firing, in this case they go from being "greenware" before firing to "bisqueware" firing. October 31st is the Glaze date for this class! If this second date does not work for the student please email me at megan@mansfieldartcenter.org  and another date can be worked out.

Date: October 18th & October 25th, 2025

Time: 12pm - 2pm

Ages: Intended for Kids and Family Groups!

In this class students will be able to make a base for their mushrooms to build on.  For the mushrooms themselves students will take portions of clay to create two pinch pots for every mushroom. Though the shape can vary widely as every mushroom can be different from tall with a wide rounded cap to small with a thin pointed cap. The stems can be smooth or textured, same with the caps! 

The only restrictions on the number of mushrooms a student can create is time, and the starting Clay amount of 1.5lbs.  This amount of clay can make multiple larger mushrooms, and students are likely to run out of time before they run out of clay.

These pieces will be glazed AFTER a firing, in this case they go from being "greenware" before firing to "bisqueware" firing. October 25th is the Glaze date for this class! If this second date does not work for the student please email me at megan@mansfieldartcenter.org  and another date can be worked out.

After many questions during the crafting of these chickens... We feel it is important to say this class is beginner friendly!! It looks very complex, however it only takes two modified pinch pots to make. After that the details such as the eyes, the comble, and waddle are added afterwards as big simple shape from a slab or rolled on the table.
These pieces will be glazed AFTER a firing, in this case they go from being "greenware" before firing to "bisqueware" firing. November 7th is the Glaze date for this class! If this second date does not work for the student please email me at megan@mansfieldartcenter.org  and another date can be worked out.
