Schedule for classes in 2023:

1. Session: Tuesday 6-9:30pm 

Short introduction into the world of clay, followed by a demonstration of how to prepare and center the clay on the wheel as well as how to create a vessel. The first time on the wheel can be challenging and that's why this will be the longest session we will have together (3,5hours). This way I would like to make sure you won't rush and can take your time to get used to the material.

2. Session: Wednesday 7-9:30pm 

This day will be all about trimming the pieces you created the day before (approximately 3-6 pieces). You will learn how to refine the shape of your vessel and create different types of foot rings for your creations.

3. Session: Wednesday 7-9pm

One week later after your pieces have been fired once, we will take some time to glaze your pieces together. A teacher will explain how to prepare a piece for glazing and demonstrate how to use different techniques like dipping, cross-dipping, puring or brushing to add some color to it. Afterwards you will have enough time to try out all techniques for yourself.

How to prepare for the class: For the classes you might want to wear something you wouldn‘t mind getting a little dirty as well as shorten your finger nails. We will provide an apron and everything that's needed for every participant.

Pick-Up: Finalizing your pieces might take between 3-6 weeks. Once your pieces are ready, you will be notified via email and might pick up your pieces during our Open Studio Hours on Thursdays between 5-9pm.
