About the event
All skill levels are welcome!
This class is perfect for the beginner clay student looking to experience pottery on the wheel.
Those with more advanced skills will have this session tailored to their experience level.
Students will select their best creations for the instructor to fire and glaze.
Students are asked to wear closed toe shoes, clothes they don't mind getting dirty, and to bring a clean towel with them to class (in most cases, the clay will wash out of clothing and towels).
Please keep in mind that pottery is a process. The time you will spend in class is for learning beginner/intermediate skills and for making your beautiful creations. At the end of your session, your instructor will have you select your glaze choices from a selection of studio glazes.
The pieces you will create during this session will need to be bisque fired once your class is completed and they are fully dry.
Your bisqued works will then be glaze fired.
The anticipated time from the end of your class for the studio to contact you to pick up your completed projects is about 6-8 weeks. Your patience is appreciated.
In most cases all works created will be food safe, your instructor will confirm this when the works are picked up.
For the sake of longevity - we strongly recommend you handwash your items.
We do not recommend using your pieces in the microwave.
