Pottery on the Wheel

Saturdays, 8 Weeks
To
1:00 pm
2:30 pm
No class on Saturday, May 25

Discover, create, and learn the inner workings of a pottery studio and how to set it up for success. We will work exclusively on the wheel and gain a solid foundation of clay throwing techniques, including how to prepare, center, and shape clay. This class allows students to learn about glaze combinations and differing techniques involved in the glazing process. Your child will be given the opportunity to dive deep into forming their pottery into something useful and never before created. Students at this stage will gain a new sense of confidence that will help them achieve their best and strive to do more.

All works will be glazed and kiln-fired.

This class will include a visit to MAM’s galleries during class time to learn from artists on view and be inspired.

Instructor

Chevon Hopkins

My name is Chevon Hopkins, and I am an artist and art instructor who currently resides in Cedar Grove, New Jersey.  My growth as an artist began in Pennsylvania where I attended Keystone College and Kutztown University and majored in fine arts and fine arts education. I went on to attend Kean University’s Masters in Fine Arts Education program. This education has aided in a lifelong learning process as an artist and instructor.  I have been instructing students of all ages for over 13 years.

My illustrations have been published in both children and adult books. My painting work has included mural painting in schools and exhibited works in local cafes and art walks. My sculpture, jewelry and pottery have been showcased in shops and galleries in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Some of my favorite work is my Mother’s Day jewelry and large hand built vases that convey beauty and are accentuated with light glazes. 

I have also spent extensive time working with individuals with disabilities and mental illness. I’ve explored the art making process with individuals and how it can impact their life.

I have always loved creating art. It is my outlet for expression. Creating art with others and assisting them with their art making process has allowed me to truly find my joy.
