Course Description
If you’re a beginner looking to create your very first pot on the wheel, or an old pro looking to broaden and develop your ceramics skills and find your own artistic style, this class is for you. We’ll explore functional forms such as bowls, mugs, and lidded pieces. and concentrate on the basics of wheel throwing, trimming, surface treatments, and glaze techniques. The $35 material fee is included to cover the first 25 lbs of clay, use of tools and glazes, as well as firing. You will also have an opportunity to come to designated open studio times to practice your technique. Open studio time is not an instructional time, but a time to work on methods taught earlier in the week and meet with other students to commune and discuss your work. Additional clay, glaze, and firings are available. Pricing for those materials will be discussed on the first day of class.
This class will be co-taught by Lee Hazelgrove & Leslie Messersmith. Lee will teach on 2/7, 2/21, 3/7 & 3/21. Leslie will teach on 2/14, 2/28, 3/14, & 3/28.
Cancellations must be received 10 days prior to class. After that date there are no refunds or credits available. Missed individual classes may be made up when there are open spots in other classes.
Total class cost - $285

Meet your Instructors
Lee Hazelgrove Lee has been a studio potter and art educator for 35 years. His work focuses on decorative vessels, wall pieces and platters, often large in scale, created primarily on the wheel. He has exhibited in galleries throughout America and is represented in several museum collections. & Leslie Messersmith My early training in production pottery and my degree in sculpture from VCU have carried me on a path to creating useful and beautiful objects. I also enjoy making sculptural, decorative objects. I use many different ceramic processes to create my work and am inspired by the natural world and by the rich history of ceramics worldwide. I participate in several local craft shows annually. You can see my work in these Virginia galleries: A Touch of Earth in Williamsburg, Gallery 527 in Scottsville and in Richmond the VMFA Virginia Artisan Gallery in the gift shop. |
