Sundays 4/17-6/26, 12:30-3:00 PM with Sara Young. Over the 10-week class, you will follow along on a short, guided project at the start of each class to learn the foundational skills that you can then apply to your own project ideas. You will learn how to hand build sculptural forms using coils, slabs, and wheel-thrown shapes of clay as building blocks. Discover how to add non-clay materials to ceramic sculpture and mount sculptures to the wall using a variety of attachment methods and devices. All experience levels welcome, including no experience at all. Please bring a sketchbook to use of any size to class.

Class Details:
Starting Monday April 4:
- During open studio, masks in the studio will be optional for vaccinated people and required for unvaccinated people.
- Some instructors may require masks during their class times when the instructor needs to be close to people to teach.
- Students may also ask for their instructor to be masked when helping them.
- Many people may continue to wear masks regardless of their own vaccination status and we will continue to support that by having N95 or KN95 masks available for anyone who wants one.
Class Details:
- During the online checkout process it will tell you that something is ready for you to pick up. Please disregard – there is nothing to pick up prior to class starting, it is a website issue my online store platform will not allow me to change.
- Attendance is mandatory for the first 2 class sessions if you are new to clay (or have not taken a class in years.) There is so much foundational information conveyed in the 1st 2 classes that all remaining classes build on, it is really difficult to catch up. After the 2nd class, students may make up a missed class by attending one day of another class during the same session. Refunds are not provided for missed classes.
- Store credit towards a future class or a partial refund will be provided if a student must withdraw from the class due to quarantining requirements.
- 10-week class, 2.5 hours per class - total instruction time 25 hours, ages 16+. Dress for a mess and bring an old towel. Communal aprons are not available but you are welcome to bring your own.
- Beginners are welcome to use the studio tools to start with to ensure this is a hobby you want to commit to. At some point you will want to start investing in your own tools, which you can purchase at Burnish or at a number of online retailers. If you have tools already you are encouraged to bring them.
- Clay is sold separately; it is not included in the class fee. Bags of clay are $31 for 25lbs, which includes the cost for bisque and glaze firings, access to use the studio glazes and slips, and sales tax.
- Cash/Check Payment Discount: If you purchase tools or clay in the studio with cash or a check you will receive a 3% discount at the register.
- All students are encouraged to use open studio time to practice and make work. No appointment needed for open studio, come in whenever you can for as short or as long as you want.
- Some open studio hours overlap with class times. You are welcome to use the opposite side of the studio during those times. For example, the wheels will be available to use while the Hand Building class is happening on the other side of the space but the glazing area and adjacent tables cannot be used during hand building or glazing classes.
- Open studio hours are not the same as the Retail Hours listed online. Open studio hours are currently:
- Monday-Friday: 10AM-9PM
- Saturdays: 10AM-6PM
- Sundays: Noon-6PM
