Pottery Pop-Up! August 1st Teens Only at the Wheel

Join this fun TEENS ONLY group for an in-depth introduction to throwing on a pottery wheel. Learn the 3 basic steps of throwing and concepts behind vessel formation and material understanding. Come for the experience! It’s tricky… but you’ll have fun getting messy!

Completed projects are fired and glazed by staff and are usually ready for pick up in 2-3 weeks. Students are responsible for assuring their artwork is gathered by the pickup deadline.

Please be aware the medium of clay is very technical and ceramics mishaps and breaks can happen. We do our best to protect your artwork but there is no guarantee it will come out undamaged or how one may have imagined it.

Pop up classes do not include access to open studio hours in the ceramics area, only regular session ceramics classes offer that option.

Safety Warnings and Attire:

Ceramics studios can be messy business, please wear clothing you don’t mind getting dirty. Bring a water bottle and apron if you prefer. Slip proof and closed toed shoes are recommended. Very long nails will make it difficult to throw on a pottery wheel and can become unsafe. We do not encourage learning how to throw on a pottery wheel while having long nails, but we will work with you if you have them.

REFUND POLICY:

We are only able to issue refunds up to 2 weeks before the class. 

There are no refunds once a class has been taken. Student artwork for pop-ups may be marked on the bottom for processing needs. Please be aware, results of final products may vary depending on clay type, glaze, and temperature variations. Our staff puts time and energy into finishing your artwork and to assure the best outcome. However, not all elements can be controlled in the ceramic process so small variations should be expected. Additionally, occasional glaze defects, cracks, and breaks are a part of the ceramics process for pretty much every clay artist. Glaze results will vary based on what type of clay is used.
