You won't need a potter's wheel or fancy equipment for this class. I will teach you how to make a simple plate mold out of Styrofoam and cups and bowls out of very soft clay slabs. I will also show you a cool technique using block printing linoleum to impress designs and make plates.

Materials & tools you will need

- access to a kiln to fire your pottery.

- clay that fires to the temperature that your firing facility fires to.

- work surface covered with canvas or old sheet.

- rolling pin

- 1" thick Styrofoam.

- things to make texture like lace, stamps, buttons and other found objects.

- dull knife, serrated knife or small serrated saw, sponge, needle tool
