Piscataquis Valley Adult Education Cooperative

This class is designed for you to have the freedom and ability to further your knowledge and experience with one of the two concentrations listed below. This course will allow you to receive both practice time and guided learning time to help support your skill level growth, and to develop an intermediate level of control over this wonderful medium. Potters Wheel: This section will spend their time working on developing skills at the potters wheel, and will begin to get into producing basic forms in repeatable quantities, with the end goal of some more advanced throwing projects. Handbuilding: This section will explore the various methods of hand building in greater depth and learn what amazing types of projects can be made using slab, coil, and pinching techniques. Projects will include both functional and sculptural pieces. Whichever concentration you choose, this class will support you in making what you want to make, and provide you with the skills to be able to create what you can imagine. We’ll see you there! All clay and materials are provided. Additional clay can be purchased separately. Please bring your own pottery tool set and a small water bucket. Cody Clinton is a graduate of the University of North Texas Ceramics department, and made pottery professionally for 10 years. He has taught countless students in Middle school art classes, and Clay workshops and demonstrations around the country.
