Children’s Class (Ages 9-14)

Classes for children aged 9-14 will be held on Saturdays (choose either the morning or afternoon class). While creative exploration with clay is stressed, beginners will learn the basics of clay preparation, a variety of hand-building techniques, glazing and decorating and an introduction to wheel throwing. Students with previous experience may focus more on wheel throwing. The class is taught by an experienced potter and is designed to be fun as well as educational. The class is small in size (maximum of 8) and relaxed and informal in style. Students will get a thorough introduction to the art of pottery making and have fun while creating their own pieces from start to finish. Registration fee is $175 (including clay)      

Saturdays:  April 16 to June 18, 2016

Morning class--10:30 am to 12:30 pm*

Afternoon class--1:30 to 3:30 pm* 

* If there is not enough enrollment in a particular section, classes may need to be combined into a class that best fits the majority.

Adult Classes

Classes are taught by professional Island potters and are designed to be fun as well as educational. Classes are small in size (maximum of 8), relaxed and informal in style. The beginners class (choose either Tuesday or Thursday evening) covers the basics of clay preparation, wheel-throwing techniques, and glazing and decoration. Hand-building techniques can also be explored depending on interest. If there is enough interest, an intermediate/advanced class will be offered on Monday evenings which will focus more on throwing complex forms and on glazing and decorating. A great way to relieve stress and enhance creativity while learning a new skill! Participants will get a thorough introduction to the art of pottery making and have fun while creating their own pieces from start to finish. Registration fee is $225 (includes a 20 lb block of clay).
