Clay School Ithaca CourseBook 19-20
The Clay School Ithaca, Course Schedule 2019-2020 The Clay School provides a vibrant and creative place for community members to work with clay alongside fellow makers, including local professional and emerging potters. Our studio builds community among students of all ages and enriches peoples' lives through the shared experience of making art. When the Cornell Ceramics Studio closed in 2011, a void opened in Ithaca for a place to teach clay to students of all ages. In 2015, after searching for an adequate location, Julia Dean, a former instructor at the Cornell Studio, moved her own ceramic production studio to our current location at the South Hill Business Campus. The space was accessible and welcoming, and The Clay School was born. Enlisting a cadre of well established potters in the area with decades of combined teaching experience, the Clay School offers classes that introduce a variety of techniques and approaches to working with clay. Students may choose to concentrate on wheel throwing, hand-building methods, surface decoration, and functional work. Various choices of monthly space rental is available to established members in the 2500 square foot studio. Week-long, weekend, and one-day workshops are offered throughout the year for locals and out of town students as well.

THE CLAY SCHOOL SCHOLARSHIP FUND<br />
As the <strong>Clay</strong> <strong>School</strong> starts our fifth year, we are happy to announce a new opportunity to<br />
expand our growing and diverse network of potters by establishing a scholarship program.<br />
This will allow us to welcome more students, especially children and teens wanting to work with<br />
clay who lack the means to participate in our creative community.<br />
We are well on our way to awarding our first scholarship participant. Contribute to the fund<br />
by adding a donation to the purchase of a class, changing your regular membership to a<br />
scholarship membership or donating by cash or check in the studio. We look forward to<br />
keeping you posted on developments.
