Marbling Clay

$580

with Kim Waldhauer

Calendar Next session starts Sep 15, 2026 at 10 am, runs for 10 weeks

This class is for intermediate and advanced students only.

In this class, we’ll explore the art of layering colored clays, creating pieces through both hand building and wheel throwing.Teaching Artist Kim Waldhauer will start by guiding students through making their own colored clays using slip and stains — a hands-on, creative process from the very beginning. From there, Kim will share her knowledge of creating patterns, as well as embracing the beautiful surprises that come with the process. 

We’ll wrap up with a glazing session, with special instruction on how to let the clay’s natural colors take center stage, rather than get lost under the glaze. Students choose their own colors — within the wonderful range that the stains make possible. 

Registration for this class includes a materials fee for mason stains. Additional materials and firing fees will be required.
