Beginning Pottery

These classes are for those individuals who have never taken a pottery class before or need a refresher class. The basics of wheel-thrown pottery will be taught: wedging, centering, pulling, trimming, glazing, and basic studio etiquette.

This class is eight weeks long and meets once a week for 2½ hours. The cost includes basic pottery tools, buckets, and towels for use during class, 25 lbs. of clay, and open studio time during our office hours to practice what you are learning.

Students are responsible for the cost of glaze firing ($10 per square foot), but will receive a $10 credit to their account to cover their first square foot. Additional clay may be purchased and 24/7 studio access can be purchased for additional $50 per month (2 month max) - please see our Student Memberships for details.

Class Size: Minimum 6 / Maximum 10
