July 5-August 28, Saturdays: 7:30-10p (Jessica Ayala and guest artist Julissa Llosa Vite)

Una clase de cerámica para principiantes que se enseña en español donde todos los niveles son bienvenidos para aprender y refinar sus habilidades.  Esta clase repasará los conceptos básicos en arcilla, desde la construcción manual con espirales, losa, pellizco y también usaremos el torno.  Realizaremos cualquier cosa, desde objetos esculturales hasta funcionales, teniendo en cuenta la forma y la aplicación de la superficie.

Arts access is important to Gasworks, so we're offering this Spanish-language class for free to Latinx folks who would not otherwise be able to afford a weekly ceramics class. We welcome immigrants, undocumented folks, and anyone who wants to learn about clay from a Latinx perspective. The in-person class meets for 2.5 hours every Saturday and includes open studio access every day of the week.  The class will cover wheel and handbuilding techniques.  The Sunday zoom class meets from 7-9pm.  Both handbuilding and sculpture will be covered.  For information about Karen Tepaz, see her website.

Students have access to clay, glaze and open studio time is available every day from 6 am - 11 pm. Firing fees are 3 cents a cubic inch.  Open studio time must be scheduled due to the pandemic. Tool kits can be purchased on the first day
