Pottery Clases
are on TUESDAYS 10—12
Total beginners and experts welcome!
Beginner pottery sessions are scheduled a few times through the year. 4 consecutive Tuesdays, please request to be on the what’s app list for the next one. As a total beginner we recommend one of these introductory packages covering many basic forming techniques, trimming and glazing. At the end you have some of your own work to take home and enjoy. If you're excited to start immediately and willing to play catchup ( comfortable being lost at times and just watch, ) we can discuss starting when the existing group is doing something you can most easily join.
You are welcome to bring lunch and work independently after class once you have the skills 😊 to work without us.
Single class $3,500 + materials and firing. $14,000 plus gct for 4 week beginner package.
Includes instruction, clay, tools, materials and firing. Plus GCT = $16,100
Monthly fee is $7,000 ( U$50) and includes 4 Tuesdays with either Ian or myself and usually both.
We pause classes in Nov and December for end of year shows and May for our international workshop. Join its for Open House in November - we host a collection of extradoniary makers of gifts, food and art.
The fine print 😊 - Beginner package includes everything you will need IF you follow class “recommendations” if you make large or dramatically more than a normal beginner there will be a charge for additional clay and firing. Max for 4 weeks is 10 lbs clay and 500cubic inches of firing space - eg small cup 3”x 3”x 3” = 27 cubic inches so thats 18 cups included and additional cups would cost J$135 each to glaze and fire twice.
We have 14+ wheels and an abundance of tables, tools and everything you need to start. Clay is $300/lb and firing is J$ 5 per cubic inch.
“Experts” can join in class or come with a plan and we will help you work out how to make what you dream. I am always available to do more advanced demonstrations and discussions. If you would like some advanced help to start your day, please book me at 9:30 am so we have time before beginners start @ 10. ( otherwise my help may have to wait till after 12 )
For newbies... My pottery studio is at Good Hope in Trelawny - all classes are here - only here and only Tuesdays 😊 - private classes are available by appointment. Studio is wide open and breezy- there are 12 large tables, lots of space to spread out 😊 Pieces to be fired are measured and charged per cubic inch above initial firing deposit. Wear clothes you don’t mind getting dirty, bring an old towel, snacks and drinks. We have a small fridge you can use.
