6-week Adult Classes - Premium

$200


​The "premium" option for the 6-week classes gives you the same instruction and class time as the 'regular' classes, but also allows membership access to the studio starting the night of the first class, and ending at the conclusion of the final class. 
Students with membership access must abide by all studio rules pertaining to Lititz Clay Studio Members. 
Clay will be provided during class time, but must be purchased for usage outside of class. 
Beginner/Intermediate - Adult (18 and over) - classes are for those starting the journey with clay, or for those who have a little experience but still need to work on some of the fundamentals. Individual goals will be set and met each week, working through the basics of functional pottery on the wheel, and extending skills for those that have some experience. 
Intermediate/Advanced - Adult (18 and over) - classes are for those with experience, who want to be challenged by new shapes and ideas. New shapes and ideas will be introduced using images and demonstrations, and the entire class will work on these common goals, culminating in a critique with each 'due date' for the purposes of growth and the exchange of ideas. (It's all meant to be positive!) Aesthetics, proportion and function will be addressed, with a focus on quality over quantity. The goal for the course is to promote growth for all levels, and create unique pieces that show a higher level of skill, and a better understanding of 'why?'. ​​

Summer 2024 - 'Flex' Class

Summer is a challenging time to schedule multi-week events, so we're running a flexible class this July/August, that is flexible in schedule and content. This class is an all-levels class, where the basics will be taught for the first-timers/beginners following the same class structure as other beginner classes. For those with experience, Nate will help reach personal goals during the classes with individual instruction, demos, critiques, etc. 
In order to work with everyone's schedule, the cost of the class covers FIVE classes, so to fit your schedule, 7 dates are being offered, and you can attend the 5 that work for you. 

PLEASE NOTE: FIRST-TIME pottery students must attend the first class on July 9. That will be the only day my demo will include all the founcational elements necessary to be successful on the pottery wheel. This demonstration is too lengthy to repeat over multiple classes. 
Dates: July 9, 11, 16, 18, 23, 30, Aug 1
Cost: $160 (cost covers 5 of 7 dates)
Materials: clay, glazes, and firings are included
†this class is for participants 18 yrs and older
