Class Info

    Classes focuses on developing hand-building techniques of pinching, slabbing, and coiling through guided instruction to complete specific projects.

• Teacher led projects vary. Students are encouraged to follow their own intuitive take on each project. 
  
• Once students show an understanding of basic techniques, they are invited to work on their own projects during class under the supervision of the instructor.*
• Wheel Throwing is not available during the Seasonal Student Session.

Seasonal Student Session includes...

• 4 Weekly Instructional classes per month 3 hours each.
• Use of studio glazes.
  
• Bisque and Glaze firings - schedule varies.
• An auto draft payment for registration each month to guarantee your spot. (Cancellation is required by the 19th of the prior month.)
• One Open Studio a month - typically 20 time slots of Open Studio are available per month.
• In lieu of our 4-Week class requirement for membership, Seasonal Student Session teaches a version of the 4-week class during the entry months of November and January.

Students must purchase their clay which will be kept at the studio. No outside clay is permitted and clay that is taken out of the studio may not be brought back in to reduce chance of firing issues. An email with clay options will be sent after registration. Clay starts at $56/loaf of 25lbs and takes includes glaze & firing fees.

Students must purchase their own tools and brushes. A list with links to recommended supplies will be sent upon registration.

*We are very careful in making sure - to the best of our ability - that pieces put into the kiln are not going to explode or shatter and harm other students' work.
