Class Information
Handbuilding incorporates the use of coiling, modelling and slab-building techniques to manipulate clay into more free-form pieces.
Wheelwork involves learning throwing and associated skills on the potter’s wheel. You will be taught how to centre clay and pull up a basic cylinder. This form is the stepping stone to more complex shapes such as bowls, plates, etc., which are covered in the latter part of the course.
In all classes you will learn to wax, decorate and glaze your pots and although the work is fired for you, a fundamental knowledge of the firing process will be gained.
Clay and firing costs are included in the introductory course fees and in children’s classes.
Clay Foundations and Continuing Clay clay and firing can be paid for in class or in our shop. This includes bisque (first) firing, glaze firing, and use of glazes. A range of clays is available for purchase with prices from approx. $25 per 10kg bag.
Tools are available for purchase.
CPS members receive discounts on classes, firing and clay purchases.
