Searching to find new tal­ents that are fun, relaxing and productive? Taking a new course at the Ventnor City Cultural Art Center may be just what you are looking for. Ceramic classes at the Center take you on a pottery journey that starts with a lump of clay and may end with a mug to drink your morning coffee, or possibly a new bowl for kitty to sip water or eat from.

Students will become familiar with throwing, coil­ing and hand building, all terms used when taking a ceramic class at the Ventnor City Cultural Art Center. You will learn how to use a pottery wheel, make items by coil, or hand build, where you sculpt your own cus­tom designed item out of a simple lump of clay. After selecting the glaze of your choice, you’re item will then be fired in a kiln, on-site.

Courses are spread out over a period of 6-8 weeks; however, most students choose to keep attending classes to advance their skills. Taking time out of our everyday rush of activities and commitments is fulfilling, therapeutic and addictive, as one brings out and confirms the inner artist within himself or herself.

Sinking your hands into a lump of clay not your cup of tea? The Cultural Arts Center offers several other excit­ing classes geared toward your relaxation and enjoyment.
