INTRO CLAY CLASS

This two hour class starts with about (35) minutes of instruction. The instructor guides you through some basic sculpting/hand building techniques and then walks you through a detailed step by step wheel throwing demonstration. Once the demonstrations are complete the studio, tools, and equipment are yours to use to create pieces of your choice, as there are no required projects. Students work on a rotation through the wheels and worktables to create both wheel thrown pieces and hand sculpted pieces. The instructor is there throughout the process for guidance along the way as needed.

WHAT'S INCLUDED: Up to (5) pounds of clay, at least 30 minutes of wheel time, use of stock glazes, use of equipment and tools, firing for the pieces made in class (within size guidelines) and instruction.

PLEASE NOTE: Pieces cannot be fully completed in one class so you will not have anything to take home after the first class. Creating with clay is a process in which requires (2) kiln firings. A fired, completed hand-built piece will take (2) classes and a completed wheel throw piece will take (3) classes. When signing up for your next classes, please allow (2) weeks in between classes.

NEXT STEPS: To fulfill the next steps on your pieces just sign up for any of the “Intro Clay Classes or The In-Between Classes,” that work best for your schedule. In your second and third classes we will walk you through the trimming and glazing demonstrations.

 

THE TUNE-UP CLASS

This class is geared for folks that have already completed the initial wheel and sculpting demonstrations as well as the trimming and glazing demonstrations (offered in the Introduction classes). This class will have multiple demonstration options to choose from and are selected based on interest and a vote in each particular class. Demonstrations may include: lids, throwing off the hump, spouts, stacking pieces, chattering, detail trimming and sgraffito.

WHAT'S INCLUDED: Up to (5) pounds of clay (white, red and speckled buff), at least 30 minutes of wheel time, use of stock glazes, use of equipment and tools, firing for the pieces made in class (within size guidelines) and instruction.

 

THE BLACKLIST CLASS

The Blacklist class is essentially a (3) hour open studio session. It is not an experience level class as it is geared for folks of all skill levels that want a space to practice and create. For those who have previous ceramic experience, we ask that you come to at least one of our “Intro Clay Classes” before attending a “Blacklist” class so that you can get a feel for our studio, how it runs, and the systems that we have in place. For those with little to no experience we ask that you take a couple of our “Intro Clay Classes” prior to taking a “Blacklist” class so that you go through all the steps and know the basics, as there are no demonstrations in “The Blacklist” class.

WHAT'S INCLUDED: Up to (10) pounds of clay, at least (1.5) hours of wheel time, use of stock glazes, use of equipment and tools, and firing for the pieces made in class (within size guidelines).
