Instructor: Emily Dore
Duration: 6 weeks | 2.5 hours per class.                                                                    Intended Level:Wheel 2 +(we recommend a minimum one Wheel 2 class or equivalent).

This 6 week course invites you to loosen your grip on perfection and rediscover what made you fall in love with clay in the first place: play.

You’ll learn to explore form, texture and glazes in new, surprising ways. The focus is on curiosity trying, testing, and seeing what happens when you let go of the outcome and lean into process.

Inspired by Emily Dore’s Hidden World series where caps and bases were interchangeable and glazes were swapped to discover new combinations—this class encourages play with glaze layering, inside-outside pairings, and testing unusual combinations. The goal is to discover new glaze results, build confidence in experimentation, and free yourself from the pressure of perfect outcomes.

What You’ll Learn

• Throwing and altering forms with intention and curiosity
• Combining texture and glaze for depth and surprise
• Understanding glaze layering effects
• Developing your own surface combinations
• Embracing imperfection as part of the creative process
