Handbuilt Pots with Multimedia Adornments

Expand your ceramics process through the exploration of multimedia finishing techniques that add a creative spin to your ceramic work.

About the Class

Expand your definition of functional ceramics through the exploration of multimedia adornments and attachments. Lynn Wood will take the students through the material exploration of adding wire, metal, twigs, cording, and more to your ceramic pieces. Students will be educated on material that can be applied pre-firing, as well as cold finishing processes (the addition of non-clay material after the piece has fired).

Class FAQ

We ask that you notify us at least 10 days in advance of a class if you need to cancel your registration. You may cancel by phone or email and we will gladly offer you a refund or credit toward a future class. If you cancel with less than 10 days’ notice, we will not be able to provide refunds, due to our contractual obligations and material purchases for each class.

Sometimes, the Sonoma Community Center has to cancel a class due to low enrollment or unforeseen circumstances, such as a natural disaster or health emergency. If this happens and we do not offer a reschedule date, you will be refunded 100% of your registration fee (minus the payment processing and services fee), or credit towards a future class. If we are able to offer a reschedule date but you are unable to make the new date, we will gladly offer credit towards a future class.

All credits must be used within 1 year.
