Pottery Classes
Welcome to Mud Slinger Studio!
We have many options for you to play with clay! Our classes change throughout the year so check back regularly. We suggest that all students take at least one of our classes prior to enrolling in the Studio Membership.
We offer a variety of classes and they include:
- Instruction, hands on learning & practice, practice, practice.
- All clay needed for class projects.
- All glazing materials needed to finish your class pieces.
- Bisque & glaze firings for pieces created & completed in class.
- Final glaze fired pieces will be available to pick up a few weeks after the last class session.
Current Classes
Our 3-hour hand building Fairy House/ Gnome class focuses on structural and decorative hand building techniques. You will choose the glazes that you would like on your pieces and will pick up your finished pieces a few weeks after the class. Ages 8+.
In our 3-day combo wheel & hand building classes you will learn multiple ways of working with clay. You will spend a full class throwing on the wheel, a full class hand building, and the final class you will trim your wheel thrown pieces and choose the glazes that you would like on your pieces. You will pick up your finished pieces a few weeks after the last class. Ages 12+.
We also offer a one time 2-hour exploratory wheel class. This two hour class allows you to get a feel for wheel throwing. This is an experience class only and no pieces will be kept. Ages 12+.
Special Notes
** While playing with clay your clothes WILL get clay on them. All students are encouraged to wear easily washable clothing & shoes and consider bringing a washable apron with you.
** Please avoid wearing perfumes or scents in the studio as many students (and us) have sensitivities to them.
** Please also avoid having creams or lotions on your hands as those can transfer to the clay and can become troublesome to the clay body's chemistry.
