Join us for an exciting new series of online digital classes created by Sawtooth instructors and staff. This introductory online class will focus on the possibilities of using raw clay dug straight from the earth to make a workable clay for hand building, wheel throwing, or sculptural applications. Students will learn how to find, process, and test wild clays for use in their studio and gain knowledge of how to experiment further on their own.

Students will receive high-level ceramic instruction in the safety of their own homes. Class includes a pre-recorded instructional video along with a 1-hour group Zoom call with the instructor for show and tell & question and answer time.
