Late Summer Adult Class ScheduleHANDBUILDING
We are no longer able to accommodate large tile projects by advanced students. In handbuilding, you will be introduced to several methods of constructing with clay. Instructors will show you projects involving slabs, coils, and extruded shapes (think big Play-Doh Fun Factory). You’ll learn how to glaze your pots as well. Beginning students may use a low-fire white or terra cotta claybody only. As an intermediate student, you will move on to more intricate projects- the sky‘s the limit! (Actually, the sizes of our kilns are your limit.). Intermediate/advanced students may use either low-fire or high-fire claybodies. Your class fee includes glazing and firing of 4000 cubic inches of pottery. [ Back to the top ] WHEEL THROWING
Beginners will learn basic wheel skills: centering, opening, pulling, shaping, trimming and finishing, as well as glazing. As a beginner, you will be making variations on the basic cylinder, such as mugs, vases, and bowls. We suggest taking at least 4 sessions before moving up to an intermediate/advanced wheel throwing class. Your instructor will help you assess your skill level. Before registering for an intermediate class, you need to master the basic throwing skills. The intermediate/ advanced students will be learning more advanced functional and decorative projects such as dinnerware, lidded jars and casseroles, goblets, two-piece vases, lamps, etc. Only cone 10 clay bodies may be used in wheel classes. Your class fee includes glazing and firing of 4000 cubic inches of pottery. [ Back to the top ] 3-WEEK SHORT TERM WHEEL THROWING (Beginners)
Gather some friends and try this together- we think you’ll like it! ClayWays is offering a shorter class for those people who have always wanted to try the potter’s wheel but didn’t want to make an 8-10 week commitment until they were sure they liked it. People who have never worked in clay are welcome. You will learn the basics of wheel throwing and how to underglaze your pieces. The class fee includes instruction, clay, glazing, and firing. Tools will be provided. (This class does not have open studio hours). 8-WEEK SESSION OPEN STUDIO
The ClayWays student who has taken several classes already, knows the system, and simply wishes to make pottery a hobby, may take Open Studio instead of another class. You must have Kit’s okay to take open studio. You must have taken at least four 8 to 10-week sessions to qualify to take Open Studio. This class is strictly for hobbyist potters, and not for production. You need to understand that even though there is no supervision, you must follow all studio rules. Your fee includes glazing and firing of 4000 cubic inches of pottery. Upcoming "Pot Shots" Workshops -->Other Good Stuff
