The extruder is a great tool for creating in the handbuilding studio! Select the metal die shape you would like to create with (similar to a child’s play dough machine or spritz cookie maker), load the clay, and create! This one-day introduction will showcase how extruded clay can be used to create unique pieces such a mug!

Materials to create and decorate one mug are included in the tuition fee.

Studio Practices- What to Expect While You Are Creating with Us!

The Paramount Center for the Arts welcomes all people to the Studios with the expectation of inclusion and respect towards all, including yourself, fellow students, instructors, staff and volunteers.

Instructor Prep Time: Please allow your instructor time to prepare your classroom; if you arrive more than 15 minutes earlier than the class start time, please explore one of our onsite exhibition spaces or wait in the Lobby in the Visual Arts Department.
