B: Creative Airdry Clay Pinch Pots with Claudia Meyer (Adults and Youth 5+ with Registered Adult)

Work with clay to create pots or sculptures! This class will go over the basic techniques of pinching clay to create a functional or sculptural vessel. Because pinching clay is simple to grasp, all ages can participate and design objects of varying complexity. We will use airdry clay so participants can take their work home that evening.

Special Notes

About the Instructor

Claudia Meyer

Claudia is an artist and object-maker living and working in Richmond, VA primarily working in clay and paper media. She graduated from Virginia Commonwealth University with a BFA in Sculpture + Extended Media in 2020. Her handbuilt works in clay, although they are made of hardened earth, feel soft to the touch. Their colors are as jovial and earthly as bursting laughter. These objects emit energy through their whimsical forms and patterns. She learns from the way that the moon and the trees wave to each other and the deep knowledge rooted in the earth and our bodies.

Through her teaching, she aims to democratize the classroom space, leveling the student/teacher relationship to one of reciprocity rather than authority. Her students learn just as much from the world around them as they do from each other. In her classroom, Claudia exists as a guide for her creative students' journeys and she endeavors to teach her students limitlessness in their creative pursuits.
