NEXT SESSION

  • DATES:


    Tuesdays, October 1st 10AM - 12PM with Rossana Naum-Stoian


(same time every week for 6 weeks)

Classes are in person! The class takes place on a day when the studio is “closed” to members.

This class is geared towards those with clay experience that can: make a cylinder and bowl (center, open up, set the floor, and pull) on the wheel! This is great for anyone that has taken Intro to Wheel with us and feels ready for next steps. Also great for anyone that already has a basic understanding of throwing on the wheel.

This class will focus on altering wheel thrown forms to create unique pieces that feature handbuilt and sculptural elements. Over the course of six weeks, students will develop their personal voice through exploration of structural knowledge and manipulation of shapes. The pieces created can focus on form, function, or both.

Projects include alternative shaping both on and off the wheel, complex handle creation, cutaways and additions, burnishing, strategic trimming, and more.  Class fee is $315 which includes a bag of clay, glazing and firing fees, and use of all tools and equipment.

Suggested prerequisite: Intro to Wheel (not required)

FAQ: 

  • Q: Can I make up a class?

  • A: Unfortunately not, we recommend trying to make it to each class. If you miss, you do still have open studio time each week to come and play.

  • Q: When are Open Studio Hours?

  • A: Student Open Studio Hours are: Thursday-Monday 12 PM-7 PM). Hours are subject to change during workshop days, but 7 days notice will be given to students.

  • Q: What’s the age limit for the class?

  • A: 16. Anyone 16 or older may be present without a guardian as long as their guardian has signed the student agreement for them.

  • Q: Can I bring my child?

  • A: Sadly not to the class. This said we welcome kids during open studio hours - parents can simply pay a child day pass fee ($15) for their child and come and go from the studio for the duration of that day.

  • Q: What if I, another student or the teacher test positive for COVID?

  • A:

    • If you test positive, we apologize but there is no refund or class make up session we can offer.

    • If another student tests positive and let’s us know, we will inform the class and it will be up to you to decide whether you feel comfortable returning.

    • If one of our teachers tests positive and needs to cancel class 1 or 2 times we will refund you a proportionate amount ($30 per class). If further sessions must be cancelled we will offer you credit towards another class session.
