In this creative 2-hour clay workshop, students will learn how to
hand-build a bowl using the pinch pot technique then use a fun
dice-rolling game to inspire their design. Each roll introduces a new
idea to sculpt, carve, or add to their bowl, making every piece
completely unique. After the bowls are bisque-fired, students will
return by appointment about a week later to paint their creations with
colorful finishes.
This workshop combines hands on clay skills,
imagination, and a little bit of chance, perfect for young makers who
enjoy creative challenges! All materials and firing are included.
Instructor:
Missy Hitch
What
began as a single ceramics class quickly became a creative obsession
for Missy Hitch. She soon found herself spending countless hours in the
studio, exploring, learning, and refining her craft. After a decade of
working with clay, she became a ceramics instructor at Prairie Arts
Center, where she now teaches hand-building and beginning wheel classes.
Missy
specializes in creating functional everyday pieces like mugs, baking
dishes, and teapots, but she also enjoys crafting decorative work. She
has led a wide range of workshops on projects such as yarn bowls,
decorative plates, Valentine gnomes, and whimsical chickens. Over the
years, she has gathered a wealth of techniques and tricks, which she
loves sharing with her students to make pottery both fun and accessible.
Whether at the wheel or in the classroom, Missy finds joy in helping
others discover the magic of clay.
