6-WEEK POTTERY WHEEL

Ready to get started at the pottery wheel? In this hands-on class you'll learn to center clay, pull even walls, and shape your first bowls, mugs, and cups on the wheel. No experience needed — just bring your curiosity and leave with finished pieces you made yourself.

 

• Mondays, October 26, November 2, 9, 16, 30 & December 7  | 5:30 - 8:30pm​​​​

Hands Shaping Clay

We also offer “Open Pottery Studio” sessions during limited times in the week. This is available to students who have taken classes with us and are familiar with the studio and clean up practices. There will be a monitor present, but no instruction will be offered. There will be select times where a student can come in for a three-hour session. The fee for “Open Studio” is $25.00 per session or purchase a 5-session punch card for $100.00. Twenty-pound (20#) bags of Clay will continue to be on sale to the community for $25.00 each. This is the only type of clay that can be used in our studios and must be purchased from the Arts Center. Please ask at the front desk if you are interested in clay.

​

NOTE: Open Studio sessions include use of the glazes and the kiln. Only those who are working completely at home and bringing in work should pay for the kiln.

The pottery studio will start accepting work made at home to be fired in our kiln. The terms are:

​

•       ONLY Clay bought from the Arts Center can be used in our program.

•       Glaze is not included

•       Because of limited space, we ask you bring in everything at one time when the

        kiln is scheduled to be fired.

•       Cost of firing for both bisque and glaze is $25.00 each for a shelf. We also have

        punch cards you can use for a kiln fire in place of an Open Studio session. When

        you bring in your greenware, it will go into the next kiln fires as a shelf charge.

•       Glazes need to be Mid-Fire, cone 5-6.
