Beginning Pottery

4 - 6 - 8? Which Class Should I Take?

Fired Up Studios offers 4, 6, and 8 week Beginning Pottery classes for those who have never worked on a pottery wheel or who just want to brush up on their skills. Students who know the basics but prefer to continue working with an instructor are also welcome.

Each class meets once a week for 2½ hours to teach the basics of wheel thrown pottery: wedging, centering, pulling, trimming, glazing, and basic studio etiquette. Included in the cost of instruction, is everything you need while you are in class*: basic pottery tools, buckets, and towels, 25 lbs. of clay, 1 free square of glaze firing, and open studio time during our office hours to practice what you are learning.

The only difference is the amount of time you will have to work with your instructor practicing your new skills, and how much you wish to spend.

Class Size: Minimum 6 / Maximum 10

Beginning Pottery Class Rates **

4 Weeks	$140
6 Weeks	$180
8 Weeks	$220

While we have designed the cost of these classes to be all inclusive, we have found that students often wish to produce more work than what can be created with the materials provided. Rather than restrict how much you can make, we allow you to make as much as you would like for an additional fee.

Possible Additional Fees **

Clay	$13 - $14 per 25 lb. bag
Glaze Firing	$10 per square foot
24/7 Studio Access	$75 per month (2 month max) - please see our Student Memberships for details.
