DigiPen Institute of Technology will begin offering ceramics classes to the general public in its new ceramics studio beginning February.

Classes will be offered in both wheel throwing and hand building, which teach the fundamentals of pottery making and ceramic sculpture creation. Participants will craft their own ceramic creations under the supervision of instructor Ken Turner, who has had his work exhibited in numerous museums and galleries. Turner also has taught and lectured in universities and colleges locally and internationally.

The ceramics program is just one of a number continuing-education courses DigiPen offers to the general public.
