NO CLASSES ON MAY 21st
The class is divided in to two different levels of students: "Beginning Wheel Students" Level 1: Students will learn the basics of throwing on the wheel and will include wedging/preparation, centering, opening, pulling, trimming, and attaching handles and glazing. The students will work on bowl forms and cylinder forms as instructed. The last 2 weeks of the series is focused on learning how to brush and dip their stoneware glazes.
"Intermediate and Continuing Students" Level 2: (Students that generally have taken two or three of our 8 week class series or have joined us with previous skills, and have the basic pottery wheel skills under their belt and doing well with centering, opening and pulling with control.) Level 2 Students will be assigned skill building exercises, new techniques and projects. Some class assignments will include surface applications. All of this is to keep our Level 2 Students climbing as they progress through their clay journey. The last 2 weeks of the series will be reserved for glazing.
All supplies are available at Mud Puddle Pottery Studio: New students will purchase materials on the first day of class, if they do not have tools already: Kemper Pottery Wheel Tool Kit (made in the USA) and a 25 lb. bag of Laguna Stoneware moist clay
Materials: Tool kit and clay will are approximately $60 with tax. One bag of clay is plenty for the class series. Continuing students can purchase a bag of clay as needed. Kiln firings and select studio glazes are included for your class projects. Mud Puddle Pottery Studio is a distributor of Laguna clay, supplies, tools, glazes, pottery wheels, kilns and equipment, etc.
What to bring: We suggest that students bring an old towel and/or apron, a few gallon zip lock storage bags for clay scraps, and a container for tools about the size of a cigar box. Other helpful items are pencils, a note pad for logging glazes and and taking notes, and a 12" ruler for measuring your success.
All students will have their own storage space for their clay and supplies. Kiln firings of class projects and select studio glazes are included in class the fee.
Studio Time for Practicing:
Enrolled students have the benefit of coming in for Studio Time to practice for $10 per hour. They will be required to pay for the kiln firing of anything made outside of the class projects.
