Ceramics Teen Open Studio
This course is designed as a space for students to
use their prior knowledge and creative experience to
develop a deeper understanding of ceramics and their
own artistic voice. Students will build upon established
ceramics skills and continue to develop technically
and creatively. This can include wheel throwing and
hand-building depending on the students’ interests.
This class offers guidance, but not specific projects as
it is meant to prepare students for self-directed studio
work.

Teen Ceramics Apprenticeship
Teen Ceramics Apprentices will volunteer for a minimum
of two hours a week for the current class or camp
session at the Art Center. Shifts will overlap with
ceramics classes for all ages. Volunteer tasks include
maintaining the ceramics studio, organizing supplies
and work, working with the kiln, assisting with lesson
planning, classroom management, and working closely
with Art Center ceramics instructors. Ceramics
Apprentices will have access to the ceramics studio
during set hours for their own artmaking purposes
during their apprenticeship. Candidates for this role
must have two years of ceramics experience in Art
Center classes or instructor approval and be at least 16
years of age.
This extension of the Art Center’s ceramics program is
a great way to earn service hours, develop leadership
skills, have fun in a creative environment, and build a
portfolio. Apprentices must attend one training session
(date to be determined based on availability).
Placements are first come first serve. If for any reason
we are unable to place you, your fee will be returned to
you; otherwise, the $100 fee is nonrefundable.

Colorful Painting & More
Inspired by artists from around the world, young artists
experiment with a variety of 2D and 3D media including
acrylics, liquid watercolors, oil pastels, collage,
printmaking, and sculptural techniques. Students learn
to compose a painting, mix colors, use brushstrokes,
and explore positive and negative space. This is a great
class for any student who loves to paint and express
themselves creatively! New projects each quarter make
this a great class to take again and again.
