Description

gyotaku

Local artist Franny Hyde will lead teens through the process of creating a coil pot, mug or plate from clay. Teens learn about working with clay, using under glazes, glaze, and firing of their work (offsite).

Franny Hyde is a local ceramic artist specializing in sculpting animals and people. She is a former elementary art teacher, marketing executive, and graduate of St. Olaf College. She is currently enjoying working with children as a teaching artist for Northern Clay Center's ClayToGo outreach program and summer Clay Camp, as well as a Studio Monitor. Her sculpture is in several private collections in the Twin Cities area, Madison, WI, New York, and Stockholm.

Note: The typical turnaround time is two weeks on firing of the clay pieces, but it is dependent on kiln availability.

 

Payment information

Payment must be received by: Mon, Feb 24, 2014 - 5:00pm

  1. Please plan to send your payment the same day that you register.

    The organizer will expect to receive your payment within 3 days of your date of registration — or by the payment deadline above, whichever comes first.

  2. Immediately after you register, you will be emailed payment instructions from admin(at)homeschoolrecess(dot)com.

    Make sure your email filters recognize this address as a legitimate sender. If you don't receive this email, please check your spam, junk or bulk mail folder. Contact the organizer if you are unable to find it; if you receive no response to your email, please call the organizer.

    You are not officially registered until the organizer receives your payment.

  3. When the organizer records your payment, you will be emailed a payment receipt from admin(at)homeschoolrecess(dot)com.

    The organizer updates payment records daily. If you've sent your payment and haven't received a payment confirmation, please contact the organizer by email or phone.

  4. If the organizer doesn't receive payment within 3 days of your date of registration or by the payment deadline, whichever comes first, the organizer may remove your family from the registration list.

    You will be notified with an email from admin(at)homeschoolrecess(dot)com should this unfortunate event occur.

    If you are unable to send payment immediately, please contact the organizer to make other arrangements. To help the organizer identify you in the registration database, please forward your payment instructions to the organizer along with your request. This protects the organizer from non-payment due to payment instructions blocked by overly aggressive spam protection.

  5. If you need to cancel your registration, please do so via an email request to the organizer.

    Non-payment is not an acceptable way to cancel your registration. If you wish to cancel, please be respectful of the volunteer organizer's time and send an email request.
