From hand building to throwing on the potter’s wheel, ceramics class is always an adventure!
Students master the ancient craft of pinching clay into functional vessels as indigenous people once did on the shores of the Hudson River. Next students use coils of clay to wrap and spiral as they grow like vines, into undulating organic bowls and vases. Slabs of clay are used as tiles to create original murals that decorate the hallways of our school.
