4 Week Pottery Journey with Ana
This beginner pottery wheel class meets once a week over 4 weeks, July 26th to August 16th. Each class will be 2 hours long and introduces students to the basic techniques of wheel throwing including: centering and opening the clay, raising the walls of the clay, creating basic shapes like cylinders and bowls, trimming away excess clay, and decorating items with underglaze colors.
This class also covers the basics of pottery studio practices like: how firing works and how to create safe and functional workspace. Students will create and decorate a handful of pieces that will be kiln fired twice and ready for pickup 2-4 weeks after the last class. Each participant will receive 5 lbs of clay and will keep what they make with those 5 lbs (approx 3 to 5 pieces). Materials (clay, underglaze colors, and clear glaze) and 2 firings (bisque and glaze) are included in the class fee. We will be working with white porcelain clay and food friendly colors and glaze.
Small class size (3 students) ensures that everyone gets the guidance they need. PLEASE TRIM NAILS SHORT as you will be unable to properly throw pots with long nails. Pull long hair back, and wear clothes that you're okay with getting muddy!
Cost for this 4 session course is $150 which includes all instruction, materials, and kiln time. Seats are extremely limited at 3! Reserve yours today at steaminnovationlabs.org/classes
