Pottery Pop-Up! February 14th Adults at the Wheel, Kids at the Table

Skip the babysitter for a clay filled date night and bring your kids for their own separate creative time.

Join us in this class lead by 2 of our experienced ceramics instructors. In the adult and teens, students can learn the basics of throwing on a pottery wheel, while their kids or younger siblings can learn the basics of making fun forms in clay. Each class will take place within the ceramics area in semi-private spaces accessible to each group. Parents are welcome to check on their kids throughout their own class. With all materials included, all participants can expect to complete

 1-2 small forms which they can then choose a color for so staff may glaze them. This is a great class for those wanting to try their hand in clay or rediscover a past passion for ceramics or just a family friendly activity. Finished objects can be picked up 2-3 weeks after the class!

Completed projects are fired and glazed by staff with student choice of color and are usually ready for pick up in 2-3 weeks. Pop up classes do not include access to open studio hours in the ceramics area, only regular session ceramics classes offer that option.

Students are responsible for assuring that their artwork is picked up in time. A handout is provided at the end of each class with pick-up dates and deadlines. If artwork is not picked up by the listed pick update on the handout, it will be assumed as abandoned.

Clay and 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.
