Wheel students will learn or/and continue to advance their skills throwing, trimming, and glazing. Hand building students will learn all techniques to create unique one-of-a-kind pieces including slab work, coiling, and pinch pots.
The cost for adult classes is $440 for 8 weeks. This includes clay, tools, and glazes. Students provide their own aprons and towels. Firing fees are invoiced on a monthly basis and are 5 cents per cubic inch for each piece fired. Additional 4 hour practice sessions can be reserved by students at an additional cost.
Full payment is required at registration. There are no make-up classes. All participants must be at least 18 years of age.
