Ceramics 1: Beginning Ceramics (Mondays)

Welcome to Ceramics!

In this beginning to intermediate class, students of any skill level are invited to learn the foundations of working with clay. Students can expect to participate in a series of guided projects that will support learning methods in wheel throwing (centering, pulling, and vessel formation) and hand-building (pinch, coil, slab). After demonstrations, students may also work freely on their own projects with instructor support. Additional instruction will be woven into lessons to build knowledge in the areas of surface treatments, function, design, and expression. All students enrolled in current, full-session ceramics classes have access to open studio hours limited to the ceramics area. 

Class is held at our SOUTH SALT LAKE location in our stunning ceramics studio.

Instructor: Shelbie Colton

Materials: The materials fee is $48 and will be added on at payment. Students do not need to purchase any other materials and all tools are provided. Any additional bags of clay requested throughout the session will also cost $48. This fee covers not just clay but glazes, firings, waxes, and more. If you have questions about the ceramics facility and/ or classes or if you would like to donate a bag of clay for community outreach classes, you can send an email to: [email protected] 

Ceramics can be a very messy business. Please wear clothing that you don't mind getting dirty.

Minimum Enrollments and Refunds:

We need a minimum of 5 participants to be able to provide the class. If we don't reach our minimum enrollment, we may need to cancel the class. The best way to ensure your class goes on is to get your friends to join in on the fun!

Ceramics classes are not eligible for students to drop-in or use Flex Passes.

If you are unable to attend the class, we are able to process refunds up to 2 weeks before the first day of class. After that date, we can either transfer you into a different class or offer you a credit towards your account up to the first day of class.

Please contact our office if you have any questions.
