Term 3, Home School ~ Clay Class
Clay lessons at Lake House Studio. Mondays, 12.30 - 2.30pm. July 28th - September 15th.
...
A weekly 2 hour session for 8 weeks. For ages 10 years and up. New and returning students will be taught the basics of handbuilding with clay through 2 to 3 guided tasks (new tasks for returning students). These tasks are designed to allow creative freedom, while gaining skills and learning new processes, individual variations are intrinsic to hand building! Fun and learning! These tasks teach fundamental clay skills in hand building, as well as developing previously learnt skills. Each student then designs and creates a piece, or series of pieces of their own choosing. After the pieces are bisque fired, children add undergalze and glaze, before their pieces are fired a second time. Guidance and assistance is at hand during every stage of your childs creative journey. There are only 8 young people are in this class, which means that your child always has help at hand. What is included? 5kg clay, underglaze colours, glazes and firings are included. Participants are able to have their pieces bisque fired, glazed and fired again. Additional clay may be purchased if needed, depending on individual use. About the teacher: Kelly is an experienced, qualified educator, she is encouraging and supportive and loves to see young people develop confidence in their ability to create their own vision through clay art.

All participants may be photographed during the classes, these images can be used for LHC&AS social media, or future LHC&AS Home School promotions. Images will never be shared with any other parties. No payment is offered for any photos used in this way. Each child is issued with aproximately 5kg of clay at the start of term, if a student uses all of their clay before the end of term, more clay will need to be purchased (so far this has not been necessary!). At the end of term, all clay remains the property of LHC&AS. All pieces must be collected within 8 weeks of being notified, after this time the pieces will be given to charity.
