Overview

With guided, professional instruction, you'll have a fun and creative time making an item out of clay on a pottery wheel. I will show you how to work with the clay, get it ready for the wheel, center it, and eventually start shaping. Usually students can make either a small bowl, plate, mug or vase on their first try. You can add accents to the pieces by carving them or adding accents from clay i.e. handle. You can take the pottery home with you the same day you make them, or—if you'd like—I can fire your work, glaze it, and ship it to you fora small fee. I also offer other experiences: canvas painting, glass fusing, hand building with clay, mosaics, glow in the dark painting, pottery painting, silkscreening. ***Drop me a note if you'd like alternate time for your appointment.****

    It was fun, but not quite what I was expecting from the add/posting. We did get to use the wheel and make a clay pot/bowl. But the picture on the add is of a large size bowl while the maximum size bowl you can make with this class is a coffee cup. I get that they need to keep it simple for beginners, but make the photo match. Also the add says that they can glaze and fire your piece for an extra fee but they don’t tell you that you need to take your piece home for two months to dry and then book another decorating class. If that is what the clay needs in order to dry, ok, but be up front in the add.
