About this Event

About this class: Our pottery classes focus on wheel-throwing techniques and accommodate skill levels from total beginners to very advanced potters. Our small group size ensures individual guidance and ample time with the instructor to address any questions each student may have. Various throwing projects, glazing, and surface decoration techniques will be explored over the period of eight weeks.



What: 4-Week Pottery Wheel Class.



When: Meets every Sunday from 3 pm to 5:00 pm, from February 2nd to February 23rd.



Where: Erie ClaySpace, 1505 State ST, 3rd Floor of the PACA building, Erie, PA 16501.


Accessing the studio:The front doors to the PACA building are locked. When you arrive, please call this number (814) 520-5089 and your instructor will buzz you in.

*Accessibility: If you require the use of an elevator (we are on the third floor), please let us know ahead of time at [email protected], and we will have someone assist you with it. (The elevator is old-fashioned, and you cannot call it with a button.)

More info:

Demonstrations will occur at the beginning of each session, followed by group exercises, and one-on-one guidance. Students will be able to handle their pieces through the entire ceramic process, starting from a lump of clay all the way through to glazing. Topics include learning how to wedge clay, centering on the wheel, throwing forms like cups, bowls, plates, vases, etc., trimming, and glazing. Everyone is given creative freedom to develop their own personal aesthetic.

By the end of the class, you’ll have a good understanding of basic ceramic studio practices, and you will learn what's needed to become a member of Erie ClaySpace!

The class fee includes clay, all glazing materials, firings, and additional practice hours in the studio. Extra clay is available for purchase as needed.

Ages 13 to adult. The class is limited to 10 students.

Instructor: Jessie Simmons

Open Studio:

In addition to class time, students will have access to the studio from 12-2 pm each Saturday while class is in session. This open studio time is supervised but instruction is offered only during class time.

Notes:

We reserve the right to postpone or cancel classes that do not meet the minimum enrollment of 5 students. If a class is canceled by Erie ClaySpace, you have the option to transfer to another similar class or have your tuition refunded in full.

Refunds are available with proper notice. We are unable to give a refund for this class that is not requested at least one week before the start of the first class. Processing fees may apply. Refunds are not given for missed classes. Students may use Open Studio time to catch up and practice.

If you have questions about this class, please contact us via email at: [email protected].
