Looking for some summer fun? Get creative with our neighbors over at at Westover HIlls UMC!! (This class is offered independently of PHSSA, but sure to be a good time!)
Class Description
Get creative with clay! Students will make pinch pots and turn them into bowls or mugs. They can play around with designs and turn their forms into animals and add handles, for example. Students will be able to paint their pots with underglazes to make them colorful. All work will be fired and glazed and returned in approximately 2-3 weeks after class.
Instructor Bio
Joanna Gragnani is from Richmond, VA and discovered clay her freshman year of high school and became immediately hooked. Throughout college at the University of Virginia she studied art history, but came back to clay when she moved to Seattle, WA and began taking classes again. After returning to Richmond, Joanna rediscovered the Visual Arts Center and started taking clay classes there, as well as interning in the clay studio. This led to becoming a member of the Old Tavern Kiln Collective and building a wood kiln in New Kent, VA. She loves the community aspect of ceramics and finds inspiration in fellow clay artists and her students. Joanna currently works out of her space at Blue Dot Studios, and she focuses on hand-building and creates organic forms that emphasize the process. She teaches hand-building at the Visual Arts Center and Hand/Thrown Studio, and she also leads mobile clay classes around Richmond in customers' homes and businesses.
