Pot’ Experience (Degree of difficulty)
For older students (5’ tall &
age 12+)
3-5 sessions
$60.00
One on One instruction. Start to Finish.
Guaranteed to complete one pot.
The 'One Pot' Experience will take you through the whole process of creating
pottery.
With one-on-one guidance from the potter you will throw a pot on
the wheel, trim it, and glaze it.
This class takes 3 to 5 sessions*. You are guaranteed** to have a pot when
you are done.
All tools and supplies are included in the price.
The
sessions are scheduled at your convenience, with gaps in between to allow for
drying and kiln time.
Typical Experience (approximate times):
Session 1: Throw (90 minutes)
Listen, learn, and watch
instructor make one pot on a potters kick wheel.
Try to make one pot on a
potters kick wheel with instructor’s hands on help.
Try to make one pot by
yourself with instructor’s verbal help.
*This may or
may not be successful and may require multiple sessions.
Session 2: Trim
(one hour)
Watch instructor trim a leather hard pot. Try to trim your leather
hard pot.
*Pot can be
ruined at this point, which would require a repeat of session one.
Session 3: Glaze
(one hour)
Prepare the pot for
glazing and glaze for final firing.
The Potter's Words of Wisdom:
-
Many people enjoy
doing this class with two students at the same time;
more than two is not practical.
-
Two people makes
session times longer: two to three hours for the first session,
an hour and a half to two hours for sessions 2 and 3.
-
First pots are
usually small and often not round. I cannot guarantee anything
except that
you will make a pot yourself.
-
The first and third
sessions are VERY messy, staining may occur during the third session.
-
Long pants are
recommended. Closed toed, firmly attached shoes are required
(no clogs)
-
A
pottery kick wheel can be a dangerous object. Respect this fact and you can
have
a safe and very enjoyable experience.
