Ceramics: Intro To the Pottery Wheel and Glazing

Welcome to Ceramics: Intro To the Pottery Wheel and Glazing! Join us at HICKORY CLAY for a hands-on experience with pottery. Learn the basics of using a pottery wheel and how to glaze your creations to perfection. This in-person event is perfect for beginners looking to get their hands dirty and unleash their creativity. Don't miss out on this opportunity to dive into the world of ceramics!
Wheel throwing classes teach the basics of making pieces on the potter’s wheel. Beginning students learn to prepare the clay, center, throw, and trim. After the pieces are fired, all students are taught how to glaze their pieces. Classes are capped at 11 students for high student/teacher interaction.

WHEN: Mondays at 6:30pm for 8 weeks: Sept 3, 10, 17, 24, Oct 1, 8, 15, & 22.
PRICE: $400 for 8 weeks
WHAT'S INCLUDED:
We provide 25 pounds of clay for students. Students may use any of 5 clay types. Instructors will also make recommendations based on skill set. Classes include clay and use of tools and aprons.

We offer open studio hours to encourage students to practice and excel. Students may come in to practice 6 days per week (different days depending on your class day.)

Most classes run 8 weeks long instead of the standard 6 weeks. We want students to have the opportunity to have their pieces fired multiple times, to encourage learning, experimenting, and technique improvement.
