Description

The last day for Internet Registration was Jul 26, 2025 4:00 PM.

Learn basic hand building and wheel throwing techniques and use various tools. Fran Ryan Center currently has 8 wheels so there is no guarantee that everyone will have a wheel, there will be a sign-up sheet available for the wheel each week. Students are asked to bring an apron.

Participants will learn about various types of clay, its working properties, and have the opportunity to try various hand building and pottery wheel techniques. Pieces will be fired and glazed. Participants are encouraged to provide their own apron, and towel for clean up. Participants will purchase their own clay at the front desk. Glazes are provided. Classes are for practicing techniques and working on projects, production work is not permitted, due to the popularity of classes, limited storage and kiln space
Clay can be purchased from the FRC front desk on the first day of class. Prices vary based on type of clay. Sold in 12.5 increments only. Basic hand tools are provided.
Only clay provided by or sold at the FRC desk is permitted.
