Things to know for class: All students will be provided with an apron, however, clay can splatter off the wheel, and may get on some of your clothes, so please come dressed in comfortable clothes that you can wipe with water or easily wash. Loose fitting clothing is recommended as your legs will need to hug the pottery wheel. You can expect to make several pieces during our 8 week class. After you have made your piece on the wheel you will learn how to trim and glaze your pieces to the perfect finished product. You will be given a wide selection of glazes to choose from for each piece you have made. Experienced and trained staff only will handle and fire your ceramic work. However, by the nature of ceramics there is always a risk of technical failure during either firing. Although it is not the usual case for this to happen, please know that we cannot be held responsible for any pieces that do not make it through the firing process, nor will any class credits or refunds be applied. Classes begin promptly as scheduled. During the first 15 minutes of class the instructor will teach the group how to work with the clay on the wheel. After the initial demonstration, the entire group will start together with the Instructor. Instructors will not be able to provide any additional demonstrations for late students.
