Tuesdays, Jan 28-March 25 (8 weeks; no class Feb 18) | 3:30-5:30 pm

Instructor: Samantha Radcliffe

In this class students will have the freedom to move from potter's wheel to hand-building with clay, and back. This is a great class for students who might want to give throwing clay on a wheel a try, or add hand-building to their toolbox. And if they're not sure where they want to start, they can muddy their hands in both.  $75 Materials Fee applied at check-out.

Samantha Radcliffe first took ceramic classes as a young artist in 2004, but has been a professional potter since 2012. Her passion for clay, or "the magic mud" as she likes to call it, really started to blossom after graduating from The New Hampshire Institute of Art with a BFA in Ceramics. Her journey in clay continued; Teaching high school ceramics, leading demonstrations for the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen, and holding titles of Studio Supervisor and Lead Trainer for Farmhouse Pottery in Woodstock, VT. Over Samantha's years of experience in clay, she has gravitated towards functional wares and how pottery interacts with human touch. How throw lines fit between your fingers, how a rim nestles against your lips, how the foot of a piece interacts with the table underneath it, are just a handful of details she focuses on while working. Passion, confidence, and lots of laughter is what you can expect from this quirky New Hampshire native's creative process.
