Project Medley Clay Classes
Instructor: Cristine Boyd
Wednesdays/ Thursdays, 5:30PM - 8:00PM
In these 4-session classes, students will have the opportunity to apply new skills and techniques to projects selected by the instructor. If you are an aspiring artist that would like to work on a different project that utilizes the same or similar techniques, you are also welcome to join class and receive guidance from the instructor to bring your idea to life! Skills learned in each project set will include hand building, sgraffito, underglazing and glazing. Various projects taught will also touch on the slip and score method used to join pieces of clay together, pinching, coiling, and more!
All materials included in class cost. These classes are for all levels, no clay experience necessary. Our instructor can help tailor the level of instruction to artists of all skill levels from beginner to advanced. Students who are interested in taking classes, but may not be available on these days or times, or who learn better in one-on-one settings are welcome to reach out to us to schedule private lessons with our instructor Cristine. You can find more information about private lessons at a later date.

Meet your instructor!
A Colorado native, Cristine Boyd has over 32 years of working with and teaching clay. She has a BFA in Ceramics from Metropolitan State University. Creativity is her pocket pal. She carries it with her as she burrows into her everyday life. Making functional-tableware or dysfunctional-sculptural objects for the home, allows her art to integrate into the outstanding and mundane aspects of everyday life. Using images that were seeded in childhood, magpies, crows, snakes, insects and foliage she's constantly experimenting with color combinations, pattern and shape.
