Are you an experienced clay artist who needs a place to create and fire your work? Come to our wheel throwing open studio! This is not a beginner class - participants must have previous wheel throwing experience and be able to work independently. Cost for the 2 hour studio time is $15. Participants must purchase clay from us - no outside clay is permitted. Clay cost is $25 for 25 pounds. If you want us to fire your pieces at RRAC there is a firing cost of $5-$15 per piece (includes bisque and glaze), due at the time you leave your piece(s) to be fired. Please bring your own tools or you may purchase a set from us. Cost for tools is $15 per set.
Please bring a towel to wipe your hands and wear an apron/clothes you can get dirty (clay does wash out).
Part of the process in wheel throwing is basic studio etiquette. Your class time includes not only throwing, but also cleaning your wheel and surrounding floor area and clay tools that were used. Clay is messy - leave your watches and rings at home. A clean studio is a healthy studio as clay dust can build up.
We will only fire pieces that were made in their entirety at Rumriver Art Center during open studio time. We cannot fire any pieces made at home, even if they are made with clay purchased from us.
PRE-REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED. NO WALK INS.
