What to Expect:

Week 1: Intro & Throwing
Meet your instructor, review class policies, watch a demo and learn the basics, then jump right on the wheel! Time to get muddy and start throwing. We allot 30 minutes at the end of each class for clean-up.

Week 2: Demo + Trimming
Trimming is the process of refining your leather-hard pieces. We’ll show you how to shape, smooth, and add finishing touches to your pieces using professional tools.

Week 3: Throwing
Time to get back on the wheel and sharpen your centring and pulling skills!

Week 4: Trimming
Your final wheel class to trim and perfect your forms.

Week Off
Rest those hands! Your work will be dried and bisque-fired by our staff.

Week 5: Glazing
The fun part! Choose from our in-house glazes and experiment with colour and design.

Want extra practice? Check out our Open Studio options to keep throwing between classes. Students get 50% off Open Studio 10 packs!

Please check out our Class Policies below and learn how to clean your wheel like a pro: Watch this video.

Class Policy

We want you and everyone else in the class to have a swell time! So here are our class policies, designed with everyone's best interests in mind:

Respect everyone in the class. We all have our strengths & weaknesses, so lets be supportive and kind to one another.
You are expected to clean up your own mud mess as best as possible within your station. Check out this youtube video.
Classes start at the time given, so please arrive early enough to get yourself settled in. We recommend 10 minutes.
If we cancel a class or workshop due to illness or weather, we will do our best to accommodate everyone when we reschedule.
If you cancel your participation 5 days or more before the first class starts, 100% credit goes towards a future course at Amaranth Stoneware. Cancelled with less than 5 days notice: If we are able to replace your spot in the class, then you'll get a credit towards a future class at Amaranth Stoneware. If we are not able to fill your spot, then you forfeit your payment. We suggest sending a friend instead!
If you do not show up to the class you have registered for we cannot provide a refund or alternative class for you.
Full payment must be made before the first class begins.
Class & Workshop registration is non-refundable but we are happy to offer you class credit to put towards a future date or towards supplies or pottery in the store.
Classes are for those 12+ years old.
Classes are subject to cancellation or rescheduling if the minimum number of students is not met. If cancelled due to low participation, a full refund will be offered.
We will contact everyone via email or phone once pottery is fired and ready for pickup. We also post to our Are My Pots Ready Page on our website when pieces are unloaded from the kiln. Any pieces not picked up for over 1 month after their final firing will be up for adoption.
Your own clay and tools MUST be taken home with you at the end of your class. Clay and tools left behind after your last class are donated / put up for adoption.
Lastly: relax, have fun, and GET MUDDY!
