You don't need to be a member to book.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll studio equipment and materials are included for the class, including clay, tools, slips and underglazes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA note about finished pots\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePottery is not an instant gratification sport. Clay likes to be made, rested, trimmed, dried, fired, glazed and fired again. It is pretty high maintenance for something that starts life as mud.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you would like to end up with a finished, glazed pot, you will usually need three separate studio sessions:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThrowing\u003cbr\u003eThis is where you make your pot on the wheel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrimming\u003cbr\u003eOnce your pot has firmed up, you come back to tidy the base, refine the shape and make it look a little less like it was wrestled from a swamp. Or, if swamp-adjacent is the goal, more intentionally organic, we support both journeys.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGlazing\u003cbr\u003eAfter your pot has been bisque fired, you come back to decorate and glaze it. We fire it again, and let you know when it is ready to collect.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach session is booked and paid for separately\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLife happens\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you can't make it back for trimming or glazing, we may be able to finish your pot for you for an additional fee. Please contact us as soon as you can. Clay has absolutely no respect for calendars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCasual class or Saturday beginner class?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis casual class is good if you want to keep practising, come back to the wheel, work through the full making process, or book around an irregular schedule. Absolute beginners are very welcome too, but please note that finishing a pot usually takes more than one visit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you'd prefer a neat little beginner package, our Saturday beginner throwing and glazing class may suit you better. That class includes one throwing session and one glazing session, and we trim your chosen pot for you in between.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDaycare for pots\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe'll look after your pots between sessions. Please book your next step within 4 weeks where possible. If you need longer, just let us know so we do not send your poor little pot off to the great reclaim bucket in the sky.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDrop in if the mood takes you\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou don't need to book ahead for this casual class. If there is a spot available on the day, you're welcome to drop in and get muddy. Booking ahead is still the best way to guarantee your place, but spontaneous pottery urges are very much understood.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Throw Clay Studio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52613665325343,"sku":null,"price":85.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0803\/5221\/5327\/files\/IMG_E3826.2.jpg?v=1781301951","url":"https:\/\/www.throwclay.com.au\/products\/adult-casual-wheel-throwing-class-thursday-july-2-morning-class","provider":"Throw Clay Studio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
