8 Week Pottery ClassThis 8-week class is designed to dive deeper into pottery, to hone your skills and be part of every step of the pottery process.
All students learn the key techniques needed to unleash their creativity! The classes are made for all experience levels and once basics are taught, they're student led with guidance and one-on-one teaching. Available for 15 years+, or with the accompaniment of a guardian. Limited spaces available, with each class accommodating up to 7 students, so everyone gets their own wheel. We encourage people to take the 3-week Beginners Pottery Class, to become acquainted with studio rules and clay techniques, before taking this course. See our studio facilities! Cost is $395, and includes glaze, firings, tool and equipment rental. Clay is $40/bag, which is enough to last for the entire 8 weeks. |

Class Structure
Week 1 – 8: Learn and Practice Krista starts each week with a demo on the wheel or with a handbuilding technique to add to you toolbox. Spend the class learning and practicing with one-on-one support. But we keep things flexible! If you have another project in mind, then you're not restricted to that night’s lesson. You're encouraged to build your own experience with whatever you want to make. No matter how challenging, Krista will help you devise a plan and then make it happen! Week 4 + 7: Glaze Days We try to schedule a bisque load roughly twice throughout the 8-week class so we can learn new decorating techniques and experiment with new glaze combos. That way, you’ll also get to see what works for the final glaze class! Fact: Did you know Krista’s studio houses over 20 different buckets of glaze to try? Plus many coloured slips and a fleet of underglaze colours! Week 9: Bonus Class Following Week 8, we always host a FREE catch-up date in the studio. It’s great for glazing those last pieces, or catching a demo you might have missed. |
