Openings Available In RCC Pottery Classes

ASHEBORO, N.C.--Randolph Community College has a limited number of openings in its Pottery classes beginning in February on the Asheboro Campus.

RCC's Pottery program is divided into four distinct, sequential sections requiring about two years to complete. In the first semester, all students will begin with Clay Properties & Handbuilding. After that introductory course, students will complete a sequential program that includes wheelwork, glaze chemistry, and firing dynamics. Each course involves two sessions a week: one class, one lab. By the final portion of the program, students are expected to have developed a distinctive style of their own and be capable of producing marketable work. Student evaluation is based upon successful completion of course objectives and a demonstration of skills.

The morning "Pottery I-Clay Properties & Handbuilding" class (#0404098) will begin Monday, Feb. 2. The 32-session class will meet from 9 a.m. - 12 noon on Mondays and Wednesdays through May 19. Louis Ragsdale will be the instructor.

Two evening classes are scheduled. The first (#0404105) will meet from 6:30 - 9:30 p.m., Mondays and Wednesdays, Feb. 2 - May 19. The second class (#0404106) will meet from 6:30 - 9:30 p.m., Tuesdays and Thursdays, Feb. 3 - May 25. Pat Newby is the instructor for the evening classes.

Registration fee is $60 (waived for those 65 years of age or older), plus $35 for supplies. Prospective students should call (336) 633-0216 to reserve your space.
