Fundamentals - Introduction to Ceramics (Terra Linda Community Center)

This class is dedicated to beginners to ceramics only and people who have not done ceramics in many years and need a refresher in techniques. After this session is completed, if students want to continue taking classes they must sign up for another session of classes. This class is not a repeat class. **The requirements to attend an intermediate, intermediate/advanced class are knowing the fundamental building techniques, including and not limited to how to use the slab roller, scoring and slipping, pinching, coiling, using molds, and knowing how to glaze. Fundamentals are not taught at intermediate and advanced levels, instead, students build on the skills they have acquired so they can achieve more complex projects and continue towards more advanced techniques. No exceptions.
