Creatures & Characters: Storytelling with Clay (8 Week Course - January, Saturday Mornings)

Do you love writing and want to try your hand at visual art? Are you a mixed media artist looking for ways to bridge multiple practices into one? Do you have an interest in ceramics, but not sure you want to make cups and bowls? If so, you might be interested in Storytelling with Clay! Over 8 weeks you will use hand building techniques to explore 3D illustration, character creation, and storytelling through ceramic sculpture. Interest and/or experience with any art medium is a plus but not required, and no prior clay knowledge is necessary - all tools and materials will be provided for you.

Because this course is focused on exploration, creativity and skill acquisition rather than producing a large volume of work, students should expect to take home 2-4 pieces by the end of the course. Students who have completed the course will qualify for membership at MUD, and receive a 25lbs bag of clay (white stoneware) free when they sign up for any of our membership options.

Please note: Before attending your first class, we ask that you familiarize yourself with the MUD Ceramics Studio handbook and sign our liability waiver. The signed waiver can be returned either via email (office@mudceramics.org) or in person at the studio. There is an additional firing fee of $3 per pound for each piece a student wishes to glaze fire and take home.

In the event of adverse weather conditions, MUD Ceramics Studio will remain open for classes unless a Travel Advisory is issued recommending the suspension of non-essential travel.
