Info and Tips for Classes

 

Please read before taking your first class!

​

You must be 18 or over to sign up for the class.  14 and over are allowed with an accompanying adult member or student.

​

During your first class you will meet your instructor who will introduce you to our procedures and then start working with clay right away.  You will recieve 12.5 pounds of clay.  You will have to purchase any additional clay you use. 

 

 - The first session focuses on centering and creating simple forms such as cylinders on the wheel. 

​

 - In the second session you will learn how to trim your piece(s) from the first session.  You will also continue throwing additional pieces.

​

 - In the third session you will learn additional throwing and trimming techniques.  PLEASE BE AWARE, this is the last day you are allowed to throw new pieces.  Any pieces thrown after this session will not be fired.

​

 - In the fourth session you will learn how to glaze your bisque pieces.  All your pieces should be ready to glaze on this day.

​

Practice times for students are from 9AM to 9PM daily.  Practice times are restricted to when there are no classes in session and only in the student wheel area.  Students are not allowed to practice at member areas.  A schedule of practice times will be sent to students prior to the start of their class.

Tips

​

- Please arrive about 10 to 15 minutes early.

- Wear casual and comfortable clothes and shoes that you don’t mind getting dirty. Luckily the clay that we use comes out of fabric with a regular wash, but there are glazes and other materials that may not be as forgiving.

- If you have an apron please bring it in along with a towel.

- Trim your fingernails…. Long fingernails makes throwing on the wheel and shaping clay much more difficult. We want you to be able to work with ease and get the most out of class.

- Remove your jewelry. Rings, watches and bracelets will only get in the way when working with clay, so it’s best to leave them at home.

- If you have long hair, bring an elastic or hair tie to wear it up. This is crucial to avoid accidents on the wheel.
