In this class we will focus on mastering the skills to make ceramic dishes for food. We will cover clay preparation, forming pots on the wheel, trimming, pulling handles, and glazing. Students with prior experience will have the opportunity to further their skills through individual coaching and critique. However, no prior experience is required -- if you have always wanted to try pottery, this class is for you. Part of every class will be dedicated to demonstrations and examining well-crafted pots.

  • Tuition includes bench time for students enrolled in classes; it does not include workshops. Clay must be purchased in class ($29 or $32/bag); tool kits ($20 + tax) also available. Please bring cash or check. Lab and clay fees cover costs of firings and glaze materials.
