Basic Pottery

This class welcomes all levels of potters, from the beginners to intermediate levels. Beginners will be taught the basics: wedging, centering, pulling, trimming, glazing, and basic studio etiquette. More advanced students will learn more complex forms and receive critiques of their work.
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 an additional $50 per month (2 month max) - please see our Student Memberships for details.
