Classes and Open Studio
Students taking classes are there to learn the different techniques and skills in the creation of pottery. Students taking classes and open labs should not be using the studio for production pottery where they are making multiple copies of the same items.
Classes are structured for students to learn and build a variety of pieces through a variety of projects to enhance their skills. We may also limit the size of individual student pieces based on the amount of space they take in the kiln. Our goal for students who are taking the classes is to build their skills by creating a variety of pottery.
Beginning/Intermediate Pottery Class:
Have dreams of becoming a potter, or even just getting your hands in clay? Make those dreams a reality at Cherry Hill Potters Guild studio, a relaxed and creative environment. Our experienced instructor, small class sizes, and our studio space provide the know-how you need to make your pottery pieces. Be introduced to a variety of ways of working with clay including: pinching, coiling, hand building, tiles, and wheel-throwing. Learn ways to decorate your pieces and how to apply glazes that will give your pieces artistic life. Bring an apron, an old towel and a mask. Tool kits are available for purchase at the studio. We follow CDC guidelines for masks, cleaning and disinfecting our studio.
This class is for beginning and intermediate potters. We offer a morning class and an evening class.
Intermediate/Advanced Pottery Class:
This more advanced study is available as a 12-week class and is designed for students who have developed enough skill at the wheel and hand building to continue working on their skills. Students will concentrate on improving their wheel throwing and hand building skills. Students will be working on advanced projects introduced by the teacher. Throughout the semester, we will explore surface decorating with the use of slips, wax resist, underglazes, glazes, and sgraffito. We follow CDC guidelines for masks, cleaning and disinfecting our studio.
Open Studio for Students taking classes:
We will be following current Health Department and CDC guidelines so Open Studio attendance may be limited
Open studio time is provided for students to continue working on their class projects and to practice their clay skills. While the teacher is not present students learn from other students and are supported by the Guild member who will monitor the session. Students are not required but encouraged to attend open studio when they can. Open studio times schedules are subject to change based on current Covid regulations and other Pottery Guild Events.
