Students 12 years of age and older are welcome, but minors must be accompanied by an adult willing to help. (Assisting adult is free if they are simply helping the minor. If the adult wants to make their own pieces they must pay as a student as well.)
Close toe shoes are REQUIRED.
Student can bring safety glass & gardening or safety gloves (not thin plastic gloves, something thicker that will protect against small cuts)- You only need to bring these if you do not want to wear the community glasses & gloves. These items can be purchased at any store with home improvement supplies.
Students feel free to bring a snack or beverage (non-alcoholic) or visit Lexis' next door.
Safety is the first priority in this class, therefore all students and assisting adults must be able to listen and follow direction for safety and success in the class. If a student, or assisting adult, is unable to follow directions, especially safety directions, the person will be asked to leave SHAK immediately without a refund.
This class is taught by Jen Martin. She has been making art her whole life, but found a passion for it while going to Kokomo High School. Through the classes KHS offered Jen found a passion for 3D art, specifically ceramics and sculpture. Through a mentorship with the late Richard Evans, Jen began teaching others. After graduating high school Jen went on to study at various Universities and art schools including Indiana Wesleyan, IUK, and Herron School for the Arts. During her time at these schools she continued to teach others about her passions as a TA. She has also taken classes through SHAK Makerspace and Arrowmount School of Arts and Crafts in Gatlinburg, TN.
