Clay Play Class Info
Hello Clay Pals!
We are super excited to have you at Wheelhouse! =) Our Clay Play one-time trial classes are designed with beginners in mind--- if you have never touched clay before, you will be all right! Keep in mind that pottery takes a lot of practice to get good at, so come with low expectations and for a fun experience first and foremost and you'll have a great time!
Some additional information about your ceramic pieces:
- Students make about 1-3 pieces during the class. We encourage students to only keep what they like for sustainability!
- There will be 5 different beautiful glazes everyone can choose from for each piece--- we will then clean up + glaze your creations and fire them for you.
- It will take 5-6 weeks for us to finish them up and we will send an email with pick-up information when they are ready to be taken home!
***We will hold on to your finished pieces for six months after we send you the pick-up information confirmation email in order to save limited space in our studio. Abandoned pieces will be donated/included in one of our market fundraisers.
Some recommended preparations before class to ensure a great experience:
- Please arrive at least 5 minutes before class starts.
- We will provide aprons but in case you really get into it, clay washes right off in the washing machine! We do recommend participants to wear comfortable clothing and footwear that you don't mind getting splatters of clay on--- it will most likely happen!
- For ease of technique, we recommend having short nails.
- For those who have long hair, please bring a hair tie.
- Remove hand + wrist jewelry, e.g. rings, bracelets, watches, etc. and put them in your bags or own pockets before we start. Do not put anything in our aprons-- we've had students forget their precious things in them!
- Be warned-- it could get addicting! =)
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out. We look forward to clayin' with you at the studio-- thank you so much for your support!
