UPCOMING WORKSHOPS
Reclaiming your clay/Making a Damp Box - for current KCS students and members only
The beauty of clay is that it can be reformed again and again until it is finally fired.
In this workshop you will learn to save and reclaim your own clay trimmings, leather hard, and bone dry pieces, and process them for re-use. Here are a few reasons why you should reclaim your clay:
- You will save money because you will need to buy clay less often.
- It's better for environment - fewer materials are mined to meet demand, and less ends up discarded in landfills
- You can use the member-only clays KCS doesn’t reclaim
- You help reduce the workload on KCS staff!
We will also make small damp boxes for storing works-in-progress and controlling moisture levels of clay pieces. The workshop fee includes the cost of supplies, and each participant will keep a small reclaim bucket and the damp box they make in class.
This class is for students and members who are ready to reclaim their own clay and would like to use clay bodies other than the three clays KCS reclaims in the studio.
Please bring a mask to wear while sifting plaster.

EVENTS
Friends and Family Evening
Bring a friend or family member to the studio for a fun clay experience and show them what you've been up to at KCS. Our Friends and Family Evening lets you bring a guest to experience wheel-throwing or hand-building for a 2-hour session. We will provide the clay and light refreshments, and will fire and glaze the finished pieces; you will be responsible for showing your guest the ropes and taking them through the steps of creating. and clean-up.
- If you sign up for a wheel-throwing slot, you will have 2 adjacent wheels reserved for you and your guest to use.
- If you sign up for a hand-building slot, you will have a table reserved for you and your guest to work on a hand-building project, and have access to templates for a small hand-building project.
*Please note: all work must be finished within the 2-hour reserved time frame. You are responsible for your guest and their lesson. You and your guest must clean up your work area and tools before the end of the 2-hour session. The pieces you make will be fired and ready for pick-up in approximately 2 weeks.
When you register, please be sure to select quantity 2 to reserve your spaces, and enter your name and the name of your guest so we know who to expect!
