About Classes
Classes are designed for people who learn in different ways. Unlike the public school system, there are no tests or written material.
Our medium is clay. Lessons are visual, auditory, tactile, and theraputic. Clay excites all of your senses.
Whiterock Studio has been in business since 1985. Joe Rock Edwards, owner, is a certified art teacher and professional sculptor.
One class or a session of classes can be arranged for Home Schoolers, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Church Groups, and Indian Guides. Schedule a Birthday Party and make clay projects.
Joe gives lectures and seminars to businesses, churches and other groups. He can travel to your special event, or you can visit our studio. The special way Joe teaches can be understood by all ages.
Creativity alone does not achieve success. During clay class many people have many ideas at once, usually more ideas than they could do in their lifetime. Part of our goal is to focus that creativity and actually get the students hands dirty. All students see each project through to the very end and are proud to do so.

Joe Rock Edwards has a BA in Art Education from East Carolina University and is a North Carolina State Certified Art Teacher with over 20 years of teaching experience. He has worked with children and adults with a variety of learning and behavioral disorders. He has developed teaching techniques that ensure the student will complete works of art they will be proud of without the benefit of previous artistic study.
The sculptures develop quickly. Along side others, students receive input and support. Clay involves all of the senses and allows non-verbal expression.
Creativity and manipulating the clay helps to relieve the tensions of everyday life. Success builds confidence, self-empowerment and personal growth.
I can create. I can communicate. I can control.
Children who have difficulty in school because of learning or behavioral problems thrive at Whiterock Studio. Small classes insure students get the help they need at every stage of learning. Starting and completing projects improves self-discipline. Student’s ability to focus is improved by engaging their hands and mind simultaneously. Projects are designed to meet the needs of each student.
We also can demonstrate at any event or location. Feel free to call us regarding any questions or directions to the studio.
