Service Description

This is an eight-week course for mixed level participants to advance their skills on the pottery wheel. Elements of hand-building will also be included. Class sessions are held Tuesday evenings from 6-8pm. This class is designed for complete beginners but we also have an agenda for intermediate participants to go at their own pace! You will be able to take home several pieces of your very own handmade pottery by the end of the series. In this course you will learn different techniques and approaches to throwing on the wheel and hand-building; including centering, pulling, trimming, coil building, slab building, surface decoration, and glazing. 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, practice, practice, and keep only what you love! The price includes eight days of instruction (one day/week, 2 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). Make sure to create an account on our website 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: 6:00-8:00pm on Tuesdays April 30th, May 7th, May 14th, May 21st, May 28th, June 4th, June 11th, and June 18th. -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: $550 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!!
