An optional $40 materials fee covers firing and allows you to take your finished pieces home.
Course Description
Listening to the Clay…
Come explore all aspects of clay in the first craft studio established at the Guild. We will begin with exercises that breakdown barriers and open up the creative possibilities of pottery. Then students will have the opportunity to throw on the wheel, sculpt, hand-build, and more, under the guidance of experienced potters. We will also explore early firing techniques, so that you can witness and take part in the creation of a pot from start to finish. A great class for beginners and seasoned potters alike.
