After-School Clay with Mariza (Age 9-15)
Overview
8 Tuesdays 4-5:30pm, April 8-May 27 **note the longer class format!
Ages 9-15 are welcome
Cost: $250 + $20 materials (all materials are included)
Beginners and returners welcome!
In this class we will learn to use the amazing pottery wheel, and handbuild with clay! We will learn to center clay on the wheel, throw a cylinder, and then explore what you can create on and off the wheel -- will you add a handle and make a mug? Turn it into a sculpture? Or something else from your imagination?
Empowering ourselves to follow our creative spark, this will be a time for creative play, while getting comfortable working with clay both on and off the pottery wheel, and creating a foundation for learning to use this incredible material!
What students are saying about this class:
"It was amazing, I loved being able to use my imagination to create whatever I thought of, and really appreciated the teachers patience. This class is perfect for me, and as an introvert the quiet was appreciated."
A note for younger students: Please be aware that throwing on the wheel might be difficult for smaller bodies. We will do our best to accommodate all students, but if you have any questions about this, please ask.
We offer a 10% sibling discount for additional registrations (use coupon code SIBLING at checkout).
About the Instructor:
Mariza has always been an avid creative and maker for as long as she can remember. She followed her passion for clay by receiving her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Ceramics and Certification to teach Art at JMU. She taught in Fairfax County Schools, Woodland Montessori, Spitzer Art Center and now Friendly City Clay. She is also a massage therapist and allows her artistic endeavors to flow through her hands to assist in the wellness of her community.
She comes to us as an instructor of wheel throwing as she is passionate about teaching what she learns and knows pedagogy is an avenue to improve the artistry of what she is immersed in. In addition to creating art in the studio, she is the Creative behind Mahalan Wellness and @marizadovisart. Her personal life is filled with lovingly tending to her family and friends, gardens of flowers and vegetables and her next poem to read or write.
