Step into the world of pottery and foster your creativity! This all-levels class will introduce you to both wheel throwing and handbuilding. Try out making cups for delicious hot beverages, holiday ornaments, candle holders, and pickle/ hors d'oeuvre trays.

In this engaging journey, Brooke will show you the ins and outs of handbuilding and wheel-throwing techniques, allowing you to experiment with various forms and textures. Discover the satisfaction of molding clay with your hands and the precision of shaping on the wheel. Bring texture into your work with impressions from nature. Join us and embark on a creative adventure that adds a touch of handmade charm to your home décor!

Eligibility: All Levels Welcome! You must be 15+ years of age to participate. This class is a great fit for those wanting to try clay for the first time or grow their skills with an instructor present to ask questions. There is a 15” maximum size, in any direction, when creating with clay at RCC.

Materials: Clay is $40 for new clay or at times we have recycled clay for sale for $15.
This is a separate purchase from your class fee. Purchase clay HERE and we will have it in your cubby on the first day of class.

Bring an apron, comfy clothes, a quart-sized container (like a yogurt container), and a beginner's set of tools to the first class.

Tool kits are available for purchase online or at SPS or CAC. Or here is another option on Amazon. The class fee includes all glazing materials, firings, and generous open-studio access for practice time. All levels welcome - come join the fun!

Artist Statement
Brooke explores a fusion of memoryscape, intention, and vision. Adding pops of color with underglaze to pay homage to the urban LA and Seattle skyline, and using an earthy red and raw clay body represents the Arizona desert. By making her vision come to fruition her goal is to have a place when your day begins, from a hot cup of tea to making a breakfast sandwich on a plate.
