4-Week

Pottery Journey

CLASS STRUCTURE

• Classes take place at either our 1102 College St. or 988 Queen St. W. locations. Please make sure to check the address carefully before booking.
• This course runs for four weeks, with one 3-hour session per week. The last 30 minutes of each session are dedicated to cleanup, because Muddy Magic still needs a tidy ending.
• Throughout the program, you’ll work with a designated amount of clay and are free to create as many pieces as you can. But remember, it’s not a race, quality over quantity is what really matters!
• Each week builds on the last, moving you through every essential step of the pottery-making process:
  • Week 1: Introduction to basic wheel throwing techniques. You’ll get your hands dirty (in the best way) and learn how to center, pull, and form basic shapes.
  • Week 2: We’ll continue throwing and learn how to trim your pieces, because every good pot deserves a good foot.
  • Week 3: More trimming plus an introduction to handbuilding techniques to expand your creative possibilities.
  • Week 4: Glazing day! You’ll explore studio glaze options and learn application techniques before your pieces head off for their final firing.
• Our experienced instructors will guide each session, demonstrate techniques, and help you progress at your own pace.
• If you miss a class, don’t worry, we’ll keep your pieces moving. Our team will complete any necessary steps so your work is ready for the next session. (But you’ll miss the fun, so we recommend showing up!)
• All pieces will be bisque fired and glaze fired by our team. You’ll receive an email notification once everything is ready for pickup, usually within 2-3 weeks after the course ends.
  Please note: Make-up classes are not guaranteed. If space becomes available in another session, we may be able to accommodate a make-up class.
  All make-up classes are subject to a $25 make-up class fee.
