Ages 16 and up are welcome
Cost: $165 + $10 materials (all materials are included)
For students who are comfortable centering and pulling a cylinder
Learn the steps to make your first teapot. Mariza will guide you through the approaches to designing and constructing your own teapot. There are essentially four parts to a teapot. The body, lid, spout, and handle. You will use the pottery wheel to create each piece and then use hand-building techniques to attach the pieces together. If time allows, you might also decide to make cups to pair with your teapot.
This class is exploratory, collaborative, interactive, and fun! Mariza will help refine your wheel throwing skills, discuss techniques and tools to successfully create each part of your teapot, and help you learn from your mistakes so that you can continue to grow. Mariza will empower you to keep trying and overcome your challenges. Join this immersive learning experience and leave with your very own teapot and the knowledge and skills to make more teapots in the future!
About the Instructor
Mariza has always been an avid creative and maker for as long as she can remember. She followed her passion for clay by receiving her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Ceramics and Certification to teach Art at JMU. She taught in Fairfax County Schools, Woodland Montessori, Spitzer Art Center and now Friendly City Clay. She is also a massage therapist and allows her artistic endeavors to flow through her hands to assist in the wellness of her community.
She comes to us as an instructor of wheel throwing as she is passionate about teaching what she learns and knows pedagogy is an avenue to improve the artistry of what she is immersed in. In addition to creating art in the studio, she is the Creative behind Mahalan Wellness and @marizadovisart. Her personal life is filled with lovingly tending to her family and friends, gardens of flowers and vegetables and her next poem to read or write.
