Ceramics
Learn all about clay and let your imagination soar! Ceramics classes provide hands-on exploration of clay, covering building, shaping, and glazing techniques in a supportive studio environment. Please note that we do not offer all-level classes, and students must enroll in the class that matches their experience level.
Nadia Tarzi-Saccardi is an award winning instructor! Learn more on page 33.
Beginner level: fundamentals – introduction to ceramics
This class is dedicated exclusively to beginners and to individuals who have not worked with clay in many years and need a refresher. In the Fundamentals class, students will master the essential techniques needed to begin their creative journey in ceramics. This class is not repeatable. After completing the session, students who wish to continue must enroll in another session at the appropriate level.
Intermediate & advanced levels
Intermediate and Intermediate/Advanced classes are not designed for beginners. Enrollment requires prior knowledge of fundamental building techniques, including how to use the slab roller, scoring and slipping, pinching, coiling, using molds, and glazing. No exceptions will be made to these requirements. A master class demonstration is offered during the second week of each Intermediate/Advanced session, along with ongoing individual artistic and technical support. TLCA also offers exhibiting opportunities for advanced ceramic artists.
