We will fire our pieces in my electric kiln and we will use underglazes as well as cone 6 glazes. Session 1 will focus on bowls
Session 2 will focus on cylinders (mugs, vases, taller vessels)

It’s so important to come in and practice in between classes so you can really get the hang of it. I offer open studio times for you each week to practice, which will vary around other class times.
Class cost is $300/session which includes open studio time and your first 25 pound bag of clay. If you have clay leftover from last session, your fee is $250. If you need more clay, the cost is $50 for each additional 25 pound bag of clay. Class size is limited to 6.
