When you register for a 6-week ceramics course at Savor Ceramics, the cost includes access to all studio equipment, studio tools, and your first bag of clay. Additionally, the course fee covers the glazing and firing of your creations. This comprehensive package ensures you have everything you need to get started and make the most of your ceramics experience.

What’s the difference between the Wheel Throwing course and the Clay Foundations course?

Our Wheel Throwing course focuses entirely on the pottery wheel, teaching you how to throw and refine forms. Clay Foundations course is more exploratory, introducing you to both hand building pottery techniques and wheel throwing basics, so you can explore and see what you enjoy most. Both courses are 6-weeks in length.

This means you can practice your ceramic skills at your own pace, as long as the studio is open and no other classes are in session. This offers an excellent opportunity to refine techniques, work on personal projects, and maximize the learning experience outside of structured class hours.
What do I need to bring?

An open mind and a creative attitude are most important! Other than that, we recommend a towel or an apron if you'll be on the wheel. You may eventually choose to buy your own tool kit or an apron, but you are welcome to use the studio tools while you see what you think.
