This is the class to take if you’ve never done clay before but want to dive right in, or you have some experience but need to brush up on your skills.

You will learn the basics such as wedging, centering, trimming, and glazing. As well as more in depth aspects like making and attaching handles, slab rolling, hand building, and surface texture. Classes are relaxed and teaching is one-to-one as needed. And all classes are a mix of intermediate and advanced students, so help and technical advice are always available. You learn at your own pace and through your own individually designed projects. In addition, all registered eight week students have unlimited access to the studio for more practice — free open studio time — 24-hours-a-day, six days a week (the studio is closed on Fridays).

Our eight week session normally begin at the start of every other month. The next class will be starting in January 2025.
