These go up sporadically so be sure to check the DMS calendar for the following classes:
How do I get started?
When are classes posted?
Every day, and they fill up quickly. Make it a habit to check the calendar. When an instructor submits a class, it can take up to 3 days to post so that it's open for registration.
Do I need clay for class?
No. Clay is provided for most classes.
What kind of clay should I buy?
Mid-fire clay-Stoneware is a great beginner clay, Cone 6. For throwing, the grog helps the clay hold more water and resist collapsing. Great for hand building. Stoneware fires great at cone 6. There are a variety of colors: white, reds, browns, and speckled. T-Mix: T-Mix has no grog and fires white. It looks great for both thrown and delicate hand-built pieces. Glazes beautifully.
Porcelain: Frost, cone 6 porcelain, is tricky to dry, throws well, but is prone cracks. You have to dry it very, very slowly.
