There's absolutely no pressure to have any experience or have it all figured out. Come to class with an open mind and we will work through your goals together to make some beautiful, unique pieces! 228 Suydam st | Bushwick, BK Tuesdays 6:30-9pm From 8/11-9/15 *Students can expect to finish around 5 pieces by the end of the course, with a maximum of 8 pieces to take home.

They have been working with clay for 5 years and hold a B.F.A in Sculpture and Integrated Practices from Pratt Institute, as well as an A.A in Studio Arts. Alex’s personal work explores clay through a lens of labor and sexuality, with a focus on technical skill building and intuitive design. Alex enjoys testing the bounds of ceramic sculpture and encouraging students to do the same. In Alex’s wheel class students will learn the importance of foundational skills and “rules” of ceramics, and by the end feel comfortable bending those rules. It’s all about balance.
