Pottery Classes

Pottery Classes- call 647 667 2259 for 10% off.

Our registered classes are comprised of four weekly classes (one class per week at the same time for 4 continuous weeks, usually excepting holidays). We support all levels of experience and each class will be organized to best suit the needs of its students. These classes are recommended for adults.

Each class is scheduled for 2-1/2 hours (with the last 15 minutes scheduled for wrap and clean-up). One instructor and all materials are provided and participants make pieces mainly by "throwing" on the wheel but may also do hand-building or a combination of the two. Pieces are typically fired in our kiln within one month of being completely and participants may arrange for artwork pickup after that time.

We strive to maintain an intimate setting - and there is a comfortable seating area (and, often, Persian tea) for art breaks - and therefore cap the group size at a maximum of 8 individuals. 

We understand that scheduling conflicts arise in the crazy and stressful outside world and therefore offer makeup classes wherever their is availability. Missed classes should, however, be made up during the session in which they occur. Make-up slots are distributed on a "first-come-first-serve" basis and are available not only to those who have registered for classes but also to those coming on an "ad-hoc" basis. A makeup class will only be awarded if Chromatic Earth Pottery is informed of the missed class at least 5 hours before the class is scheduled to start. Only one make-up class is permitted per participant per session.

Each student is supplied with all the tools they need and 4 inches of a block of clay. Glazing and firing are included for pieces made from that initial amount of clay. Extra clay is available for especially productive students at a price of $40 per 1/3 block ( plus HST), with glazing and firing of additional pieces costing $10 or $20 (depending on the size of the piece). All provided clay and artwork are to be worked on exclusively during studio sessions: taking clay or pieces home before the end of the four-week session is not permitted. Likewise, all tools and equipment are the property of Chromatic Earth Pottery and cannot be borrowed for use outside of the studio.
