The School District of Rhinelander is once again offering a Playing in Dirt (Pottery) class. Have fun with clay! Learn the basics of hand-building, wheel-throwing, rolling clay for slab work, and glazing. Explore texturing devices like wall coverings, spools, chopsticks, kitchen utensils and more. Indulge your creative muse and come away from the class with several handmade pieces and a love of this art form. You might want to bring old pillow cases, items with interesting textures and an apron. Playing in the dirt can be messy! Class is for the beginning/intermediate level.

The class will meet on Tuesdays and Thursdays, April 5 – April 28, from 6:30 – 8:30 p.m. at Rhinelander High School Room 131.  Grades 9 – adult are welcome to participate. The instructor will be Torrey Youngstrum. The fee for the class is $80/person.
