Winter Session: Continuing Pottery Plus
Wednesdays, 6-9PM
January 7 - March 11
Teaching Artist: Ethan Arias

$350 members / $365 nonmembers

This class is for those who have taken at least one beginning pottery class or have existing skills of intermediate level (can center, open, and pull basic pots, trim, and make basic attachments).

Students already possessing basic wheel throwing skills can further their abilities. Take the opportunity to investigate more intensive aspects of thrown functional forms including making sets, multiple part pieces, working larger, and surface techniques. There will be additional focus on how to work more intentionally as a maker.

Students in this class will also have the unique option to participate in a soda firing with artist Ethan Arias! This firing method uses a modified atmosphere to make glazes and slips behave differently than in standard firing! This is a great opportunity to learn a bit more about the magic of soda firing and find out how it can jazz up your surfaces! Some extra work is expected of students who wish to participate in this firing, natural to the process, including: wadding your pots, helping to load the kiln, and cleanup after the kiln is fired. This is an excellent way to be introduced to the soda kiln and begin to learn how this unique firing method works!

Regular cone 6 and 10 studio firing options will also be available.

Requirements: Have taken at least one Beginning Pottery or be familiar with the basic techniques (center, open, pull - create cylinders and bowls, trim, make handles).

Included in class fee:

First bag of clay
Firing fees for all work created during the 10-week class session (size limit- items must not measure more than 20” in any direction), including participation in one soda firing if desired.
