Beginner Pottery Classes at Fired Up Studios Minneapolis

About

Fired Up Studios currently offers 10 week Beginning Pottery classes for those who have never worked on a pottery wheel or who just want to brush up on their skills. Students who know the basics but prefer to continue working with an instructor are also welcome.

Each class meets once a week for 2.5 hours to teach the basics of wheel thrown pottery: wedging, centering, pulling, trimming, glazing, and basic studio etiquette. We will also cover basic hand-building instruction.

The cost of class includes a $50 key deposit, which allows students 24 hour access to practice what they are learning. $50 will be refunded at the end of class upon return of the studio key.

Included in the cost is everything you need while you are in class: basic pottery tools, buckets, and towels, 25 lbs. of clay, limited glaze firing, and 24-hour open studio time to practice what you are learning.

While we have designed the cost of these classes to be all inclusive, we have found that students often wish to produce more work than what can be created with the materials provided. Rather than restrict how much you can make, we allow you to make as much as you would like for an additional fee.

Please remember the following rules:

• Classes are adults only (18+)
• Classes have a maximum attendance of 9 students
• We will not allow overbooking of the classes.
• Face masks are optional.
• Hand sanitizer will also be available in the classroom
• We are committed to cleaning the studio daily to keep surfaces sanitized.
• Wear clothes that you can get dirty, this includes shoes.
