Clay Art Workshop, Glen Cove

First, you center the clay. Slapping the amorphous blob down on the wheel, you slowly find the symmetrical point in the middle of the wheel before gracefully wrestling the malleable material up and out into a recognizable form. At Clay Art Workshop, new students start from the ground up, learning the nuance of crafting a work of art from hunks of smooth earth. After forms have dried, pupils will learn how to glaze their pieces to create a completed work, which is then fired inside the studio's kiln. All levels of potters ages 18 and up are welcome, and the cost of the class includes clay but but it doesn't include all the clay they would need. Only clay for one class.
