Why Take Ceramics?
Ceramics is amazing. You will lose yourself in time and discover yourself in your ideas and projects. You will participate in the transformation of rock to mud, to rock again. You’ll take a non-descript lump of clay and form it into a mug, mosaic, or even a sculpture! Tap into your Higher Order Thinking without even knowing it because Ceramics is H.O.T!!! Come have fun, enjoy the class, and find Your voice in clay!
