This class is geared to those with little or no clay experience! Classes are in person! The class takes place on a day when the studio is “closed” to members.
Over the course of 6 weeks, you'll learn about the different stages clay goes through during the making process, as well as the tools and techniques used to create wheel thrown pottery. We'll teach you how to design and glaze your pieces, and you’ll be able to use everything you make once you’ve finished the 6-week course!
Includes:
Half bag of clay (12.5lbs block)
Firing/baking of your pottery
Glazes/materials
Use of studio machinery, tools and equipment
18"x14"x15" personal shelf storage space at CLAYFOLK
Access to Open Studio Hours: Thursday-Monday 12 PM-7 PM. This access is unlimited during the 6-week course!
2 hour class session in studio, meet new people, and ask your instructor questions while practicing!
Projects include: Cylinders/cups, bowls, dishes, glazing of your wares, and more!
Follow-up class suggestions: Repeat Intro to Wheel 2-3 times then register for in-studio membership or intermediate and/or advanced courses and workshops!
FAQ:
Q: Can I make up a class?
A: Unfortunately not, we recommend you do everything you can to make each class as each has important information, but you do have open studio time all week to come and play.
Q: When are Open Studio Hours?
A: Student open studio hours are Thursday-Monday from 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 lets 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.
