ABOUT MUDSLINGERS:

Mudslingers Studio is designed to provide a distinctive visual art education program that will empower students to embrace a life of excellence and creativity through their artistic abilities and open doors to imagination and self-confidence. Visual art skills are worthwhile, valuable life skills grounded in discipline and a work ethic that is crucial for any craft. The instructor is a trained professional who provides a quality educational and artistic experience for each participant. Experience is gained by weekly classes culminating in an exhibition held in the Mudslingers Studio.

CLASS DESCRIPTION

Classes will consist of an introduction to basic pottery skills of pinching, coil-building, slab construction, and throwing on the potter’s wheel. The student will also be introduced to various glazing and firing processes. A showcase of students’ work will conclude the Session. Mudslingers Pottery Studio is located across from The Dixie at 101 Court Square. Students need to arrive exactly at time scheduled and not more than 5 minutes early since the Instructor will need time to prepare classroom between classes.

The Mudslinger Studio is sponsored in part by a grant from the Tennessee Arts Commission. When the Tennessee Arts Commission was created in 1967, it was given a special mandate by the General Assembly to stimulate and encourage the presentation of performing, visual and literary arts throughout the state and to encourage public interest in the cultural heritage of Tennessee. Through a variety of programs, the Commission has encouraged excellence in artistic expression through the state’s artists and arts organizations. That commitment has continued to expand through the years to ensure that the citizens of Tennessee have access to, and the opportunity to participate in the arts.
