Class Description

Description

These 3 week classes will cover basic handbuilding techniques including pinching, slab building, using forms, applying textures, glazing, and fundamentals of the life cycle and process of ceramics. The first two weeks will be devoted to creating, and the last week will be for glazing. More advanced students are welcome to work and receive guidance on their own personal projects.

As a student you:

  • Will have your own shelf in the studio to store clay, tools, and projects. The course fee includes unlimited studio clay.  (Additional clays can be purchased at the studio if desired.)
  • Can bring tools or purchase them from the studio for $15 on the first day of class, and should bring aprons and towels if desired.
  • Will have the option to book additional studio time at a discounted rate ($20 per hour) if you would like. Students will also have the opportunity to join the studio as a member after the course provided membership spots are available.

Please note:

  • All work must be completed or ready to go into the final glaze kiln by the end of the 2nd week.
  • The student firing fee is $0.07 per cubic inch which covers the cost of bisque and glaze firing.
  • We do not provide makeup classes. Please refer to our Refund Policy if needed.

Refund Policy

For 6 & 8-Week Courses and 3-Week Intensive Courses 

Due to our small class size we need to have the following cancellation policy: 

  • Refund requests made up to two weeks before the start of class are refundable less a $25 transaction fee.
  • Refund requests made up to one week before the start of class are 50% refundable.
  • There are no refunds (including credits or moving to a later class) past one week of class beginning (including no-shows).
  • Unfortunately, we cannot offer any makeup classes for any reason.

For Wheel Throwing and Handbuilding Lessons:

  • There are no refunds for missed lessons or lessons cancelled within 48 hours of your lesson beginning. Refund requests made less than a week before but prior to 48 hours before your lesson begins are 50% refundable or can be rescheduled, and refund requests made prior to a week before the course begins are fully refundable (less a $20 transaction fee*) or can be rescheduled.
  • For lessons with 2 or more people, there are no refunds if folks from your group can no longer make it or do not show up to your lesson. Please see the guidelines above regarding rescheduling your lesson if someone can no longer make the lesson and you would like to accommodate.

*Courses are subject to cancellation if not enough students sign up. In this case, students will be refunded the course fee.

In any event where a customer wants to cancel their enrollment and is eligible for a full refund, a 5% processing fee will be deducted from the refund amount.
