In this 1.5-hour workshop, students will learn the basics of slab construction while creating a functional clay picture frame. No prior clay experience is needed—just curiosity and creativity! Participants will roll out slabs, shape their frame, and use texture tools and stamps to personalize their design.
After firing in the kiln, frames can be painted with watercolor during open studio hours, allowing students to return and finish their work at a time that’s convenient for their family. Each child will come away with an understanding of the ceramic process and a durable handmade frame, ready to display a favorite photo or piece of art.
Instructor:
Missy Hitch After nearly 20 years of working various administrative positions at OSU, Missy Hitch took a ceramics class and instantly fell in love with it. When she's not following her teenage daughter around to bowling tournaments, she spends her time in the studio where she gets the opportunity to learn, explore, and create works of art. After 5 years of working with clay, Missy became a ceramics instructor at Prairie Arts Center where she teaches hand building and beginning wheel classes. Her focus as a maker is on building every day functional pieces like mugs, baking dishes, and teapots but she also makes decorative pieces and has led various workshops on ceramic projects, such as holiday gnomes and nativity scenes. Over the years, Missy has learned some tips and tricks, which she happily shares with her students to make pottery fun and exciting.
