Clay and Slip with Ken Turner

"Clay and Slip with Ken Turner" is a live weekly ONLINE ceramics class that will be taught using Zoom on Wednesdays from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Pacific, starting May 12, 2021 until July 14, 2021. This 10-session class is a great socialization opportunity for both new and experienced ceramists that will focus on hand-building techniques. In addition to instruction on techniques and 1:1 consultation with Ken Turner, the class will feature guest speakers who will conduct live demonstrations. For this session, Ken has once again assembled an amazing list of speakers:

As work is completed, you will be able to drop off the work at DigiPen's main campus for firing. For those who are not situated near Redmond, WA, you will need to locate a local studio to fire your projects.

To participate, you will need to have an area to work at. For recommendations about setting up a workspace, please email [email protected] for "Creating a Workspace at Home" by Ken Turner.
