This INTERMEDIATE 8 week session runs weekly on Thursday evenings. This class is only open to Intermediate students. If you have taken at least two 8-week wheelthrowing courses, we consider you an intermediate student. In this class, Pheebs will help you hone your skills, learn more autonomy in your studio practice, and refine your forms, attachments, and techniques. Possible goals include - throwing bigger, lidded jars, narrow-necked vessels, etc. Each student will receive one 25-lb bag of clay with their class registration, Pheebs will support you in recycling the clay yourself, and you may purchase additional clay as needed. Kiln firing included.

Glaze fired pieces will be ready to pick up roughly 4 weeks after the final class. The instructor will email you when work is ready for pickup, and student Pieces MUST be picked up within four weeks of the instructor’s email. Unclaimed pieces will be considered “donated” to Byrdie’s!

WE DO NOT OFFER MAKEUP CLASSES, except for special circumstances. Please only sign up for this class if you can attend all of the dates in the session. If you must miss a class due to sickness, you may ask the teacher if they can schedule a 1.5-hour private makeup class, in which case you would pay the teacher $45 directly. We do not offer makeup classes due to your scheduling conflicts.
