Coil-Building: Clay Plant Pots (Ages 9-11)
Do you have a cactus that needs a home? A pothos that needs a place to stay? Let's make a custom plant pot so you can become a thriving plant parent! Learn the basic techniques of coil-building and attachment, and you will have a beautiful and sturdy planter to bring home.
Special Notes
Students will use clay that needs to be fired, so work will be picked up at a later date. Firing can take 1-2 months.
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.
