NEXT SESSION

  • DATES:


    Wednesday, October 2nd 6 - 8 PM / taught by Scott Nickel


(same time every week for 6 weeks)

Following session begins: November 12th & 13th and will go live for purchase on October 7th (sign up for our newsletter to be the first to know when the session is live).

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.

In this themed intermediate class you will gain the knowledge and skills of throwing large pieces at the wheel. You will expand upon the skills you learned in the intro class, gaining a deeper understanding of wheel throwing and crafting the shapes you desire. 

Projects include: Lids, Handles, Vases, planters, trays, salad plates, and more!

Required prerequisite: Intro to Wheel at ClayFolk OR attendance of our New Student Orientation before the start of your first class if you have 2 years of recent (in the last 5 years) experience in ceramics and can very comfortably center at the wheel and throw a cylinder. Teachers will not be teaching students how to center and throw a cylinder in this class - this is experience you must have prior to taking this class.

FAQ: 

  • Q: Can I make up a class?

  • A: Unfortunately not, we recommend trying to make it to each class, but you do have open studio time the rest of the 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.
