| Pottery lessons for beginning potters follow a similar class structure and price. The cost of each seven week session is $200. This fee is subject to change and will be confirmed at the time of registration. The cost includes personal instruction (class size restricted to 10 students), clay, a selection of the most dependable food safe glazes (in six basic colors) and firing. Most students prefer to separately purchase tools and additional glaze colors. Tools and additional glazes are available for purchase at Clayworks. Mastercard and Visa are accepted and gift certificates are available as well. |

The first of the seven (two and one half hours each) class sessions teaches the fundamentals of hand building with clay. This includes pinched pots, coil, and slab building. The second class introduces the thrill of throwing vessels on a potter's wheel. Subsequent classes are used by the students to improve upon any of the above pottery techniques with the supervision of the instructor. The final class is dedicated to glazing of finished pieces. Students return at a later date to pick up their final glaze fired pieces. |
