Whether you are a beginner or just want to come play on the wheel, this is where you book your class. Let me know what your skill level is- and we will work from there.
What this years classes look like:
The class will be 1.5 hours long. All clay, glaze, and firing services are included. Clay is limited to five pounds per person per time. That is approximately 5 lumps of clay which in times past has been a good amount. If you are coming back, we will set your items aside and you can glaze them as you would like using any color I have. If this is a one time class, you can choose between blue, white, or black glaze options.
If you are wanting to do a slab form class, feel free to book, but please notify me at the time of the booking so I can prepare my space accordingly.
How to book:
My available dates should pop up once you have chosen to book a class and tapped the book button. Classes will only be available two week in advance. There is room for only two people to work at the wheel.
Location: 38 Elevator Road, Whitemouth, MB
My space is located in a big brown shop. My brother has graciously given me space. It is a large open area. Be prepared, the guys might be working on the drill rigs or trucks so it may get noisy and smelly. It may be cold in winter and hot in summer. This is a work space, not a party space. (note: we are an hour east of Winnipeg.)
Notes: Working with clay is FUN, but messy. We do have aprons. If I forget to point them out, feel free to ask. Typically the clay doesn't stain clothes, but an apron is nice to help with the mess. As for rings and bracelets, although beautiful, please remove them before working on the wheel. Extras just get in the way of the clay. That goes for long and freshly manicured fingernails. Fingernails are best short. Plan your manicure for after the event if possible. Your fingers are so involved in making the bowls.
