Of all the ways to spend a midweek night, very little competes with Verge Center for the Arts classes. Not only are these varied in content and form, the different lessons teach a craft that stays with students for a lifetime. This month’s handful of Adult Clay Sculpture classes are taught by the multi-talented Verge Studio artist Linda Miller and last for a lengthy 150 minutes. Those who’ve never created any type of ceramics are encouraged as well as those looking to hone their craft or brush up on already existing skills. Patience and, more importantly, a will to listen and learn are key for mastering a complicated kiln firing process. Learn about the process and each of the stages such as dehydration, burn-off, quartz inversion, vitrification and melting. Students will learn how to successfully manipulate clay with the most possible ease. Lastly, all will learn how to finalize their own individual works using a glaze finish. The four-class schedule is only $125 for members or $140 for non-members and bound to fill up fast. Break open the piggy bank and get your ticket purchased with all due speed at Vergeart.com
