About
Stay connected to your creativity from home and Clay-Along with NCC through virtual classes and materials kits designed to fulfill your clay longings at a social distance. Virtual classes will meet online for two hours once a week for five weeks with an NCC Teaching Artist who will guide you through quality at-home digital experience with clay. We are also pleased to offer self-guided clay kits with lesson plans for home for an independent clay experience. Both offerings have the option to include low-fire clay and a set of engobes (colored slips), bisque and clear glaze firings at NCC, and a guide to setting up a space for clay in your home. No clay-specific tools? No problem! All classes and lessons can be accomplished with everyday utensils and objects. You can also select an optional materials kit that includes a guide to setting up an at-home clay space, 25 or 50 lbs of low-fire clay depending on class length (choice of low-fire red: a smooth terracotta body; or Raku: a grittier, off-white body), a set of engobes (colored slips) and firings at NCC. If you have everything you need already, just select the content-only version. We can’t wait for you to Clay-Along with us!
