These are courses in ceramics and pottery that will include slab clay techniques, slip casting, mold making, finishing, firing and glazing of your work in a kiln.

Check out our Giant Cone 10 Kiln!

Phase One was the first of five phases of construction and restoration of the Sidney Fine Arts Center.

In this phase we built our Ceramic and Pottery capabilities. With the creation of ceramic courses we are also converting the old parking garage to our new"Pottery Shed". This building houses our kilns.

In addition to our existing kilns, we added the big 16.5 cubic ft. Baily kiln pictured here. This large capacity programmable kiln will fire to a cone 10, and has the thickest insulation in the industry.

The other kilns that will be housed in the pottery shed are; a test ceramic kiln, a glass fusion kiln and a low fire ceramic painting kiln. We are also planing on another kiln for future jewelry casting courses.
