The Clay Classroom with Lisa LaBarge
This is the pottery class you have always wanted to take. Classes are kept small to allow students to work on projects of their choice. Students work at their own pace on the pottery wheel or on hand building projects. Student project goals direct what skills and techniques are learned.
This is an on-going class meeting once a week (4-5 times/month) and runs year around.
New students must committment to at least 8 weeks, have a set of basic tools (available for purchase at the studio) and purchase clay as needed.
Bring a small notebook to keep as a clay journal and a towel for your lap... we get a little dirty here.
Tuition is due the first week of the month:
3 hr class, meeting weekly (adults) 12 hrs/mo, 35/wk + clay
2 hr class, meeting weekly (students, 16-18) 8 hrs/mo, $30/wk
Additional hours in the studio may be purchased for $10/hr.
Maximum of 12 pieces fired monthy
