Service Description

This is an eight-week course for those who have previously taken a multi-week class at Kilnfolk, and want to continue to build off of what they've learned! Class sessions are three hours, and held Monday evenings from 6-9pm. This class is designed to help you strengthen your confidence in the techniques you've learned in a previous multi-week class. You will build upon your knowledge of wheel throwing, hand-building, and glazing techniques. You will have more independence at the wheel, but your instructor will be available to help you grow in the areas you want to focus on! You will be able to take home several pieces of your very own handmade pottery by the end of the series. There will also be a special project mid-way through the course that the group will decide upon. In this 8 week course you have the opportunity to fire up to 12 pieces of work! We encourage you to practice, and keep only what you love! The price includes eight days of instruction (one day/week, 3 hours/session) and one additional day of open studio time per week where you can practice outside of class (max three hours per session only one per week). Members of this alumni class will have access to member glazes, and you can bring in your own glazes with instructor approval. You should already have an account on our website which you will use to book your open studio time. Please sign the studio handbook on the membership page of our website before your first class. https://www.kilnfolkclay.com/membership-policies Course Details: -Dates & Times of class instruction: 6:00-9:00pm on Mondays June 24th, July 1st, July 8th, July 15th, July 22nd, July 29th, August 5th, August 12th. -Location: Kilnfolk Clay Studio, 108 W 6th Street, Vancouver, WA 98660 Secure parking in the Lot #18 Park 'n Go Garage one block away. -Price: $700 per person -Attire: Comfortable clothes that you can squat in and don't mind getting dirty (clay will wash out of your clothes the same way dirt does), short nails are encouraged! -What to bring: Bring a rag & an apron to class with you!!
