Get started with clay in this beginner-friendly class blending wheel throwing and handbuilding techniques. You'll explore fun projects like candle altars, miniatures (dominos, chopstick holders), clay magnets, bowls with handles, and to-go tumblers, perfect for learning the basics while making functional and decorative pieces.

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 ready on your first 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!

About the Instructor:
Brooke Felix (she/her)

Born in Southern California, Brooke is now a Washington state resident. In 2018 Brooke took a college course in ceramics which started her journey with clay. Now she’s a full-time artist. She shares her knowledge of clay through teaching kids and adults. Her love of sharing comes through as she prepares fun clay topics and projects, hoping that others may enjoy clay just as much as she does. 

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.
