Ceramics Classes in Larchmont, NY

***This course is ONLY for Grades 1-5** Here the studio art experience is brought to you! In Ceramics, we work with clay sculpting and students form their artwork by hand. Basic techniques are taught and demonstrations are given. The students paint their Ceramic art with non-toxic colors that are then transported to a kiln, bisque, and glaze fired with a clear food-safe finish. The beautiful and durable glazed ceramics are fun and students will learn the fundamentals of sculpture & hand-building techniques. Use of tools will be shown to create a vase or sculpture, planning to try a more extended project that is less rushed. Other mediums will be introduced, such as wood. Using pre-cut wood, popsicle sticks and some paint we will explore forming objects of art and function. Also wire sculpting to form people, animals, and contemporary art will be part of the sculpting. Teaching student's ways to bend colored pipe cleaner, and firmer wire into shapes and designs with a base. Artwork comes back to the classroom, as it's ready throughout the program. All artwork will be received by the last class. Usually, we finish with a self-hardening clay project they take home on the last day.
