Beginners will be introduced to basic shapes such as cylinders, cups, and bowls. Experienced potters will expand skills and explore forms such as lidded jars and large objects. Make unusual shapes by cutting, stacking, and altering pieces to create oval dishes, tulip vases, and more. Surface finishes including underglaze decoration and soda firing are available.
If you are new to wheel throwing, we recommend our Beginning Wheel Throwing class.
Tuition includes guaranteed access to 3 Ceramics Open Studio sessions per registered class. Ceramics Open Studio is an opportunity to practice skills outside class. A sign up sheet will be available when class starts. Given the complexities of firing, we cannot guarantee student work will be fired in the order in which it was received. Students will be emailed each time the kiln has been fired and unloaded. Because of limited space we can only hold onto finished pieces for three (3) weeks and will discard any unclaimed pieces after the posted date.
Students can also purchase clay at Armadillo Clay: 3307 E 4th St, Austin, TX 78702. M-F 9am-5pm, Saturdays 9am-12pm. All clay MUST BE HIGH FIRE (Cone 10). We will not fire other clays.
