January 16 - March 6, 2025, Thursdays from 6-9pm
Create your own dinnerware sets through ceramic processes. This course will demonstrate the skills needed to create dinnerware for serving or daily tableware use.

This course encourages creative sketching and idea sharing. Demonstrations will also be given for serving dishes and larger bowls. The finished product will be dishwasher, microwave, and food safe. (All levels welcome)
The course fee includes your first 25lbs. of clay, glazes and firings, access to Sunday work sessions, and the Saturday evening Meet/Make/Think critique group every third Saturday of the month.

About the instructor:
Rebecca Blevins grew up in Appalachia playing on the clay banks of Watauga Lake in EastTennessee. She has taught ceramics in various studio settings as an adjunct professor, community educator, and private instructor for over 10 years. The artist is currently working out of her studio in the woods in Ashland City, TN where she continues to pursue experimentation of form using both hand building and wheel throwing techniques. She has also started digging clay and gathering local raw materials with the hope to incorporate a more trial and error approach to her practice. She is equal parts teacher, potter, sculptor, and experimenter. In her studio it is not uncommon to find a perfectly thrown vessel next to a silly animal form or a lumpy cup. All are welcome.
