Clay At Home for Adults

Clay At Home for Adults
with instructor Brendan Roddy

This will be a 6-week at-home course with 5 instructional weeks and one video conference week.

As we all continue to Stay At Home, Ceramics Instructor Brendan Roddy will bring you into his home for this virtual clay course - Clay At Home! This course is designed to be asynchronous with 5 weekly instructional videos, in real-time, going through step-by-step instructions to create hand-built pieces and other recommended videos for students to further their ideas and creativity. The projects are designed to be created with tools and items found in your home and are suitable for beginners and advanced students. 

Join Brendan in his home studio one evening of this course for a virtual session as well - you can ask questions, get feedback, and just socialize during this time of social distancing. River Tree Arts will make arrangements for pick-up of clay and some materials as well as drop-off for firing and finishing. Glazing will be done by the instructor with color selection by students. All necessary precautions will be taken to keep our students and faculty safe and healthy during this course and time we are away from River Tree Arts. 

River Tree Arts will provide: 25lbs of clay, string for cutting clay, plastic for storage, paintbrush, wooden block, and canvas to work on. 

What you'll need at home: old toothbrush if you have one, an old credit card or playing card if you have one, scissors if you have a pair, a piece of cardboard if you have some, paper or newspaper, a pencil or pen, a sponge, a bowl or water container, a fork, a spoon, a knife, and a variety of objects that you can use to create textures (optional).
