Celebrate cold-blood critters as we make art inspired by reptiles, amphibians, fish, and insects. We'll make artwork full of pattern, color, and texture as we learn about these unique animals.

Learn to create handbuild forms with intricately illustrated surfaces full of animals, landscapes, or abstract designs. We'll learn decorative techniques and use specialized tools to carve and draw onto soft clay and paint with underglazes onto fired pots.

Create one-of-a-kind clay gifts with ceramic artist Maeve Hilgers. We'll learn to create carefully painted and carved compositions, like the animals and patterns found in Maeve's work, to embellish and emphasize the form of mugs and planters just in time for the gift-giving season.
