Hand Built Pottery with Kim Gavin!!


Wednesdays 4:30-5:30

Ages 8-13

Cost: $175

10 weeks starting September 28th - November 30th

Instructor: Kim Gavin

This class is designed for students just beginning in clay or those with experience. The techniques taught will use only your hands and some simple tools. Students will create three projects over a ten-week psyched course: a tile/trivet, a teapot (based on an Asian Style) and a hollow animal-shaped whistle. All pieces will be fired and glazed at the Ceramic Shop.

Art history will be used as a foundation and inspiration for all projects.

Families (adults with younger children are also encouraged to attend) Welcome!

This is taught by Kimberly Gavin, certified teacher in the Philadelphia School District and nominee for the 2011 Philadelphia Teacher of the Year Award. Ms. Gavin has received her MA in Art Education with an Emphasis in Special Populations at Moore College of Art & Design in Philadelphia, and has a BFA from Parsons School of Design in NY. Ms Gavin works with students of all ages and abilities and believes that everyone can create something wonderful and unique.
