There will be a total of 8 lessons. Each lesson is 3 hours long.
Who’s it for? Beginners who want to try pottery for the first time! You don’t need any experience to take this class.
This class will take people through the very first steps of making pottery in a fun and relaxed atmosphere. You will lean how to wedge clay, center and throw on the wheel, make a cup & mug, bowl, and make a plate. You will also have an optional slab building lesson, handles lesson, and glaze testing lessons. Then you will glaze all your pieces on the last class.
There will be max 6 people in this class, with a wheel available for each person at all times. Nice, small class sizes will ensure that you get the instructions you need. Learn from an experienced potter who has her own pottery business. We are patient, kind, and excited to meet you! This class fosters an environment of laughter and explorations and is a great place to meet new people and make creative friends.
Winter storms - If roads are to dangerous to travel on, a class may be rescheduled to ensure that students receive 8 lessons.
8 “sessions” (3 hours)
The use of your own wheel and studio space (work tables) during the class.
A shelf/cubby to store clay.
Kiln space to fire your 10 pounds of clay.
Use of studio glazes
10 pounds of Cone 6 stoneware clay (Tucker’s Mid Smooth Stone)
Extra clay (available at the studio to purchase), and extra kiln space (*to be used in class, not at home)
*Things to know - Shorter nails are easier for making pottery. Pottery is a physical activity; sometimes a bad back or arthritis can stop someone from being able to work at the wheel. We do not have the ability to offer free makeup classes if you are sick or have a vacation (though there is a makeup class date you can purchase for an additional fee).
