Wednesday night course: see description, prerequisites, time, and fees below.
Supplemental Course Options include: Open Studio+ and Time-Saver Package
Course Description:
If you have a specific project you’ve been wanting to accomplish, dreaming about, or that has inspired you, but you're not sure how to approach it, now’s the time. This course helps you outline your project goal, create manageable objectives and milestones, and design an achievable 8-week plan to complete your unique project. Get help learning new skills and techniques through tailored demonstrations and problem-solving for the components you need to achieve your big goal. All the studio tools and guidance you need will be available to you along the way. To discuss your project in advance, reach out to Christina in person, by email at christina@azureartisans.com, or call 315 858-8899 for a 10–15-minute discussion. Planning for your project will begin before class starts in early January so you can come to the first class ready, plan in hand, and dive straight into the project you’ve been dreaming about. Adults over age 18.
Course prerequisites:
Wheel Throwing: Ability to reliably and consistently perform all fundamental throwing skills, including centering, opening, pulling, shaping, cutting rims, collaring, and compressing. You must be able to throw the general form you wish to accomplish (cylinder, bowl, vase, or plate).
Hand-Building: Ability to perform the fundamental skills and techniques required, which may include creating pinch pots, hand rolling coils, and preparing clay for slab work.
Dates: Wednesdays, January 13th - March 10th, 6-8:30 p.m., includes 2 hours 15 minutes of instruction and 15 minutes for clean-up. No class on February 17th. Snow date: March 18th, if needed.
Class Fee: $295 per person. Clay, glaze, and firing are not included, as they depend on individual projects chosen. Required tools will also be identified depending on the chosen project.
Open Studio+
Bring your clay and questions! This new open studio option is available to all students who would like to gain more time for independent practice of skills, techniques, throwing, and trimming learned in classes. During this 8-week open studio option, a pottery instructor will be available to answer general questions. This is the perfect open studio option for those just starting classes or who want a little extra guidance during practice. Work at your own pace, build confidence, and enjoy having a little help nearby. Adults over age 18.
We will not provide formal instruction or demonstrations during this time. Studio time is available for about 10 hours per week before classes and on weekends.
Studio access aligns with the 8-week course session. Students have access to pottery wheels, table space, community materials, and tools. Students also receive a 10% discount on 25 pounds of stoneware clay. This option is $175 per person per course session, which is only $22 per week. The drop-in rate for each 2-hour session is $30 per person.
Time-Saver Package:
Do you value time on task, travel long distances, or loathe the clean-up involved with pottery? This package may be your answer. Enjoy your pottery time, feel at peace, and leave class feeling more fulfilled. With the time-saver package, you can stay focused during class, relax and feel calm afterward, and head home a bit earlier. For only $15 a week, you can get up at the end of instructional time, put your pots away, wash your hands, and head home. We’ll clean your wheel, station, wedging board, and tools each of the 8 weeks and make sure you’re ready to jump back in the following week. Instructional time is from 6-8:15 p.m., with clean-up beginning at 8:15.
