COVID-19 ALERT - November 2020
Our community's health is our number 1 priority.
Classes have reopened. Our current session is fully booked.
Many of you have reached out over the past few weeks to inquire about classes at Woodlawn Pottery Studio. Thank you all for your patience as we made plans to safely prepare for classes to return to Woodlawn during the COVID-19 pandemic.
During the pandemic, students and the instructor will be required to wear a mask over their nose and mouth at all times while inside the studio. We have added COVID-19 cleaning protocols which will be covered by the instructor in the first class.
At this time, we are going to conduct six weeks sessions. Classes will be semi-private with a limit of four students at a time.
Cost for 6 weeks (3hr sessions) is $406.80 incl. HST and 5 kg clay
Come play with clay! Woodlawn Pottery Studio offers multi-stream, mixed-level courses. Each course teaches foundational hand-building and wheel throwing techniques which may be applied to both functional and sculptural forms. Classes offer a flexible curriculum to accommodate adult potters of all levels. Class size is restricted to ensure individual attention.
For safety reasons, there are currently only 12 student spots. We're sorry we can't invite all of you back. As soon as we can safely do so, we will expand our class offerings. Please note that due to COVID-19, potters may not receive "hands-on" help.
Beginner Stream
The Beginner stream is for people new (or newish) to clay. Students will focus on material exploration, experimenting with the core techniques in clay: pinching, coiling, slab-rolling and building, wheel throwing and trimming, and glazing. Demos and hands-on activities will give everyone a chance to explore processes and develop a small number of take-home products.
Intermediate Stream
The Intermediate stream is for people familiar with clay who want to develop their technique and their skill repertoire. Intermediate students generally work independently on projects of their own choosing, supported by demos, exercises, and instruction as needed. Intermediate students often explore new forms and surface decoration (e.g., coloured slips, texture, glazing techniques) and have a chance to refine their work.
Students are encouraged to wear old clothing or bring an apron or smock.
Registration is on a first come, first served basis.
