All the Classes at Amused Studios
Pick-a-Pot Raku
May 25th 1-5pm, or until firings are finished.
Pick a premade vase made by Amused Studios and choose how to decorate it. We have a variety of low fire Raku -glazes that react with the fire and create unusual effects making each pot different. You can also try the horse hair and or feather technique as well.
One pot is included in the price of the class. Additional pots can be purchased the day of the Raku for $25 each- if you would like to try different designs and techniques or if you just want to play and have fun with Raku!

Saturday Kids Hand Build with Clay Classes
Saturday Kids Summer Classes 12-1pm
Join Sarah and Imma for a kids pottery class where we explore and learn all about making things out of clay. Kids have the opportunity to make a few pieces of pottery, ideas for class are animal sculptures, bowls, mugs. They will choose their favorite 1 or 2 pieces to keep if they made more.
Everything is made by hand with coils, slabs, pinching and manipulating the clay with our hands. Kids usually have an opportunity to decorate the pieces with colorful slips or they can also choose a glaze color to have it finished in.
Parents, grandparents, guardians, ect may sign up along side their children to make a piece of pottery of their own if they want to. If the kids are small parents may need to stay to help the children.
Ages 4 and up.
Pieces take 2-4 weeks to finish and we txt when ready.
