2025 NPD Winter Program Guide

ARTS

ADULT Advanced Pottery and Sculpture • AGES 18 AND UP Challenge your hand-building and surface decorating skills in a relaxed studio atmosphere with guidance provided based on individual needs and requests. Class work explores unity of form and surface treatment with more complex forms using texture, color, scale and series of objects. Although the class title is “Advanced,” only a beginning level of clay work and familiarity with the studio is required. Your inspiration may start with Pinterest, but you will leave the class with art that is uniquely yours. Bring your inspiration, sense of humor and desire to explore your creativity in an environment that fosters personal growth. Each participant receives an individual space to store work. All supplies are included. Prerequisite: participation in a previous Naperville Park District pottery class.
