This is a 9 week class.

Creative. Hands On. Project-based.

Level: All levels

Explore the art of slab hand-building in this hands-on, 9-week ceramics class. Learn to transform clay into beautiful, functional and decorative pottery using traditional slab construction techniques.

Each week, you’ll create a new project, including nesting sets, utensil holders, butter dishes, birdhouses, mugs, coaster sets and vases. You’ll also explore surface decoration with underglaze decals, special-effect glazes, and overglaze decals to give your work a personal touch.

Whether you’re new to hand-building or looking to expand your ceramics skills, this class offers a fun, creative environment to experiment, learn new techniques, and make pottery you’ll be proud to use or display.

Instructor Bio

Patrice got her Bachelors in Fine Arts at Green Mountain College in Vermont. During a summer abroad, she lived in Aberystwyth, Wales, where she did her collage internship at the Ceredigion Museum. Her internship included restoration of cultural artifacts, cataloging, and assisting with setting up exhibits at multiple museums in Wales and England. A few years after college, Patrice briefly lived in Eureka, CA. While there she worked for HCAR as the Lead Art teacher in their fine arts program for people with developmental disabilities. Patrice found herself back on Cape Cod and taking ceramic classes at the Harry Holl Studio at the Cape Cod Museum of Art. After a year of classes and helping in the studio, her teacher recommended her for an apprenticeship at Scargo Pottery–the Studio and Gallery that was established in 1952 by renowned potter Harry Holl. After eight years of apprenticeship, she is now the studio manager. As manager, her role includes mixing glazes, ordering supplies, unloading kilns, reclaiming and recycling clay, and above all else helping and educating the many customers who visit daily. Patrice enjoys making and selling functional pottery, wall tiles, and whimsical sculptures. Born and raised on Cape Cod, she is inspired by her environment and the beauty that surrounds her.
