Our studio class philosophy
Classes are structured to blend new and experienced students into studio experiences and accommodate multiple learning styles into playing in the mud. Each class will contain demonstrations and instructions in both hand building and wheel throwing techniques designed to help individuals or groups in a class to continue on their clay journeys. We encourage you to come with ideas about the directions you want to take in clay. In short, we try to maintain a very flexible curriculum that meets a wide variety of expectations and abilities. We ask that you bring an open mind, ideas on what you are interested in learning and a notebook to keep track of your progress.
All class charges include 25 lbs. clay, firing costs and access to one open studio period per week. Firing costs are included in clay costs.
