All quarterly classes include access to open studio time during KCS's regular business hours. Each student will receive a 25 lb. bag of clay on the first day of class. Tool sets are available for purchase.
Beginner classes are designed for people who have never worked with clay before, or who want a refresher of the basics. Instructors will assume that participants have no clay knowledge.
Bridge classes are aimed at those who have taken a beginner course, yet don't feel ready to jump into an intermediate or advanced class. Students will strengthen their basic skills and go a little further in their practice with more challenging projects than in the beginner classes.
Intermediate classes are for experienced practitioners who have a firm grasp of the basics of clay and can keep up in a class that is more fast-paced. Students should expect challenges and the development of specific skills.
Advanced classes assume students have a high level of proficiency. They are designed to challenge students to reach new levels in their knowledge and abilities.
All Levels classes are designed for all ability levels. They help newer students build skills, as well as challenge more seasoned students to grow in their practice.
Returning classes are for intermediate clay artists returning to the medium after a long break, not for novices. Previous ceramics experience should include several semester- or quarter-long classes and students should be able to keep up with a fast pace and brief instruction.
