Through the Wheel is a hands-on ceramics class designed for teens looking to develop their skills on the potter’s wheel. Students will learn the fundamentals of throwing, shaping, and refining forms like bowls, mugs, and plates while exploring texture, surface design, and glazing techniques. With guidance from an experienced instructor, participants will gain confidence in their craftsmanship and creativity, transforming clay into functional and expressive pieces. Whether you're new to the wheel or looking to improve your technique, this class offers a fun and supportive environment to experiment and grow.

This class is scheduled to be held in CCS, which is only accessable by stairs.

Step outside and explore the art of landscape painting in this one-day plein air workshop designed for teens. Working in the gardens at Historic Yellow Springs, participants will learn the foundational principles of atmospheric and linear perspective while capturing the beauty of the natural surroundings.

Students will use their phones as a creative tool to crop and frame compositions, helping them focus their ideas before putting pencil or brush to paper. If the weather becomes too warm, we’ll move into the studio to continue working from reference photos taken earlier in the day.

This workshop is ideal for beginners looking to build confidence with outdoor sketching and painting, as well as for teens preparing portfolios for college applications. All materials provided—just bring your creativity and a willingness to explore!
