Sunday Clay: High Fire! at the Volcano Art Center has added a morning workshop with instructor Erik Wold starting Jan. 8, 2017.

The six-week sessions are from 11:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m. Sundays through Feb. 12.

This morning class will be an introduction to working with and firing midrange stoneware. Emphasis will be on learning and refining wheel-throwing skills and the possibilities of stoneware glazes.

Early registration is recommended as there are a limited amount of open places for “wheel throwers” and “hand builders.”

Students must use clay purchased from the Volcano Art Center. Stoneware clay and glazes will be used, with the final glaze firing in a Volcano potter’s kilns, with kiln opening and potluck to follow.

The cost is $170 or $152 for VAC members plus a $13 materials fee for 6 pounds of clay, including glazes and firing. Additional clay will be available for purchase.

The Volcano Art Center is a nonprofit educational organization created in 1974 to promote, develop and perpetuate the artistic and cultural heritage of Hawaii’s people and environment through activities in the visual, literary and performing arts.
