WINTER 2025: Independent Study with Sarah Raffinan, 10 weeks, Mondays, 10:00am - 12:30pm; January 6 - March 10



Each maker is encouraged to come with an idea you want to explore independently in this 10 week class. You will have the support of your classmates and teachers through spontaneous discussions and relevant skills demonstrations. This class is about supporting you as you strive to develop your ideas and your way with clay. There are no mandatory projects in this class. The focus is on following your own ideas and diving deep into the project that excites you. 


Skill Level: Intermediate
Skill Details: In this session of Independent Study we will focus on the process for finding what interests you, and developing your methods. There will be discussions, demonstrations, and samplings through the 10 weeks to help inspire you and to help you find your muse. Research, experiments and flights of fancy will be the order of the day with lots of fun tangents. You can pick and chose from the smorgasbord of offerings.
Requirements: Students MUST have good skills and a working knowledge of at least one ceramic process - hand building, wheel throwing or sculpture. To protect our kiln clay must be purchased form our shop. We have our own studio glazes for you to use, and we have a wide variety of commercials glazes available.. We do not allow any other glazes or underglazes on pots we are to fire for you. Your are welcome to bring your own tools or buy new ones in our shop.
Instructor: Sarah Raffinan
Instructor Bio: Sarah Raffinan was a kid who lived for afterschool art classes and summer camps, but didn't discover a love of wheel throwing until trying to fulfill an art requirement in college. She continued to practice at community studios in Denver and Washington, DC as a young adult, but stepped away when she became a mother. Now she's thrilled to be working and creating at CityClay. You can often find her in the kiln room, where she tries her best to keep up with the constant flow of amazing student work.
