Tuesdays, June 11-July 30 | 5:30-8:30 pm

Instructor: Samantha Radcliffe

In this class you'll have the freedom to move from potter's wheel to hand-building with clay, and back. Students will be inspired by each other while working in under the guidance of an experienced teacher. If you are a hand-builder that wants to learn to throw, or a wheel thrower who wants to add hand-building to their toolbox, this is the class for you. And if you don't know what you want to try, or you want to push your skills further, you can muddy your 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.
