Beginner and intermediate middle schoolers are invited to join Libby Flach for this immersive 10-week pottery course. Designed for all ability levels, this class takes a student-led approach to ceramics using both hand-building and wheel-throwing techniques.
Students new to pottery will learn the fundamentals of wheel-throwing, hand-building, decorative techniques, and glazing. More experienced students can refine their skills and expand their practice with the guidance of an expert ceramic artist.
With a small class size (maximum of 7 students), participants receive both whole-group instruction and one-on-one guidance.
All materials and equipment are provided. Students are welcome to bring their own tools if desired. Participants also gain access to weekly Open Studio sessions. Pre-registration for Open Studio is required, with a $20 fee to reserve a space.
English and Spanish instruction available.
If you expect to miss more than two classes during the session, we recommend registering for a different or future class. Only two make-up classes are allowed due to illness or extenuating circumstances.
Students who wish to create more than 10 vessels during the course will be charged a $30 shelf fee. Additional clay is available for purchase at $30 per bag.
A BASE membership is not required to enroll.
Any payments above the suggested class fee (Take a Class/Give a Class, Help a Neighbor, Sponsor Materials) are tax deductible and will be acknowledged via email for tax purposes.
