Please check in at the Front Desk upon arrival for the class. Bring a piece of ID as you will be asked to produce one while checking in. If you have selected the Student or Gardiner Friends rate, you will be asked to produce the appropriate ID upon arrival for the class. Unless your membership is at the Friends & Family level or higher, each participant will require their own student or membership ID.
About the Class
Our Drop-In Classes are perfect for potters of all levels. Experiment with various hand-building, wheel-throwing, and decorating techniques. Build or throw your own clay creations and have them fired. You may then choose to sign up for another Drop-In Class to glaze your works and have them fired a second time to complete the process. Participants have access to an experienced artist instructor in a professional ceramics studio, earthenware clay, and a variety of tools and commercial brushing glazes.
Firing takes two (2) weeks and can be done once after making and again after glazing. The firing fee is $5 per piece per firing, which can be paid at the Front Desk. Firing and glazing your work is optional.
Important Safety Information: Using the pottery wheel may be harmful to a person who has a pacemaker. Serious injury or death could occur. Consult a physician before using.
