Designed for all skill levels, students will learn the basics of centering, shaping, trimming, and glazing. Intermediate students will work with an experienced instructor to improve and expand throwing skills. Students will learn to master the methods and techniques of making pottery on the wheel through demonstrations, hands on exercises, and plenty of individual instruction.
Each student will be given a 25lb bag of clay to start the class as part of their registration fee, with the option to purchase another 25lb bag if needed. The registration price is inclusive of a $5 processing fee.
DEB SLAHTA is a resident artist at JuxtaHub! She explores the vessel as a three-dimensional canvas, producing finely crafted raku and stoneware ceramics. Known for precise designs, she utilizes geometric constructions and patterned motifs on the surface of the pot.
Additional work abandons the well defined divisions of space; brushstrokes and multiple layers of glaze combine and flow, to create a more painterly approach. She is a native of Hellertown, Pennsylvania and is a lifelong resident of the Lehigh Valley.
While attending Moravian College, Deborah began a lifelong passion for clay, graduating in 1977 with a degree in Mathematics. Her work has been exhibited in national and regional shows, including “PA Craft”; at the State Museum in Harrisburg, “Area Artists 2017” at Lehigh University, and is a participating artist at “Cocktails and Collecting” at the Allentown Art Museum.
