NOTE this is a 5-week class, 2.5 hrs each session.
Join us in the clay studio this summer for this all-levels, 5-week pottery class. We’ll get our hands dirty and make great pots!
This fun class guides the beginner through basic techniques: working with clay, the centering process, pulling cylinders, and creating functional ware on the wheel. For more advanced students, we will teach new tips and techniques for getting the right form and making larger pieces. We will be learning basic glazing techniques, and preparing our pots to fire in the July wood kiln firing. Each participant will take home finished functional ware.
Class fee includes materials, firings, instruction, and five optional open studio sessions on Sunday mornings. Advance registration is required.
Location: Meet in the parking lot of the farm store. Google Maps Link
