Makeup Sessions
For multi-session classes only: You may need to miss a class throughout your session, and we’ve developed a system to help people enrolled in multi-session courses to share and switch their schedules with other students.
- This form is for folks who know more than 48 hours in advance that they will be missing a class.
- Only ONE make up class can be signed up for per session on this form.
- You may enter as many dates as you like, but only sign up for one make up class.
- Make up classes are not guaranteed.
- If you miss a class and did not enter it into the spreadsheet 48 hrs in advance, a make up is not possible.
- If you missed a class because of an emergency or a religious holiday, please do not use the make up doc. Please email Jenn or Kat and they will find one glazing class for you to make up after your class session is over.
- For everyone’s benefit and for equitability, every student must follow the same protocol for make up classes. The spreadsheet is monitored regularly for correct usage. Details of how to use our make up class system is outlined on the document.
“Clay Fun!” Classes
Choose between the single session FRIDAY WHEEL or the two session CLAY SAMPLER CLASS
The FRIDAY WHEEL class begins with a wheel-throwing demonstration and the remainder of the time is spent practicing on the wheel. For those with prior experience students can choose to skip the demonstration. Don’t forget to bring a towel or apron to help with cleanup! Class ends after 2 hours and 30 minutes is spent cleaning up. There are no make-up classes for the Friday Wheel classes. If you are in love with your pot at the end of class, you can email the studio and register for a glazing session within two weeks of your class. After two weeks we will recycle any pots made.
