I am signed p for an evening ceramics class this coming fall semester at a community college. So far I have two other classes picked out and thinking about a 4th class so I can be full time. My only concern is that ceramics wills be too much and too difficult for me as I will also be 5 months pregnant at the start of school in August. So has anyone ever taken ceramics? Will it be too much for me to take on? Will i also have to put out a lot of money for materials? Thanks
I took Ceramics years ago at Community College! It was fun!! We made things out of clay by shaping to start. They showed us how to use the kiln.I think that was what it was called. (the oven that bakes the clay). They did that for us for the most part. We got to work on the spinning wheel called a pottters wheel and that was great! That can be a little tricky but great fun! I think you will LOVE IT! I am NOT artistic at all and can barely draw a stick figure LOL
this is fairly standard fare. using high temp paint is essential. by all means spray before assembly. DO tape areas we don't want paint on though. eg rubber seals. orifices for pipes. allow to dry fully .ideally two coats is best but don't heavily spray as we will get 'runs' in paint.
