THE PROCESS
Using a potters wheel clay is centered and worked to create a basic cylinder shape. This shape is then pressed, pulled and open to the desired piece: bowls, plates, pitchers the possibilities are endless.
WHEEL THROWING
With guidance and support you will learn to center clay to form a cylinder which is the basis for other shapes. Classes are small and designed for individual attention so that each student can develop skills in a relaxed environment. You will have guided studio time once a week and plenty of open studio time to practice.

Participants also get the use of a personal shelf to store work and materials, use of studio glazes and slips, and firing space of 300 cu. in. per firing (one bisque and one glaze). Firing space not used cannot be carried over to future sessions. Pieces that are not completed and fired during your month of classes will need to be removed or will be discarded at the end of the session.

Kiln firing fee at .05 cents per cu.in. (basis kiln availability)
There is no kit rental or sale at the studio.
NOTE: The studio cannot accommodate large pieces nor is it suitable for pottery production. You will have to be selective with the pieces you produce to keep them within the limits of the firing space included in the fee. Please remove all your work and tools at the end of each session. Work (finished or unfinished) and materials left in the studio after a new session has started will be discarded. Thank you for your cooperation.
ONE DAY WORKSHOP
Can't commit to a monthly course at the moment? Take a one day workshop. These workshops allow you to try the potters wheel for the first time. No experience needed, just a fun and open mind.
Workshops run for 2 hours, $90 per person. Fee includes instruction at the wheel, clay, and use of studio tools. You also get to keep one of your creations which I trim, glaze and fire for you. Maximum 5 people per workshop. Minimum of 3 to hold a workshop.
Workshops are one day classes where you will try your hand at centering clay. If you want to keep 1 additional piece that you make during your visit, there is an additional $25 fee. This additional fee covers trimming, glazing (choose two colors) and two firings. A process that takes 3-4 weeks to complete.
Workshops can only be taken once. If you are interested in taking more classes please sign up for a 4 week course.
