• How to pull a wall
• How to form a cylinder vessel
• How to form a flat vessel

Using a wheel is challenging at first but it is also very fulfilling. That's why for this class, we focus on building your foundations before moving on to more complicated works. 

Inclusions:

• 3 hours in person session
• Use of potter's wheel
• Fundamentals syllabus 
• 1.5 kg stoneware clay
• We will fire your pieces for free 
• Glazing services
  
• Pottery tools are available for use in studio 

important note:
You will need to do session 3 within the week of completing session 2. During your session 3, you will be trimming your works from session 2 which means your pieces should still be soft enough to trim on your third session.

FAQ:

Can we bring our final outcomes home? 

We will need to fire your pieces first before you are able to use them, the firing process will involve multiple stages like drying, and firing it twice which can take around 4-6 weeks. We will inform you when your works are ready for pick up.

Can I bring food or drinks? 

Yes you can bring food or drinks. You can even order from the dozens of restaurants around the Cubao Expo compound and it will be delivered to you during your pottery session. Please give us a heads up so the teacher is informed :)

Can I bring pets?
Yes of course. Our founder (Ashe) is actually a gray tabby cat. We love pets! Please bring your pets :) We also assume that you will be responsible for them and will not disrupt any other ongoing classes in the other class rooms. 

If we miss the class, can we refund? 

We do not do refunds. Please note that we are a small business and we have allotted time, space and an instructor for your company and convenience. But we know things can go wrong, especially during covid times. If you feel fuzzy, please help us out by letting us know in advance so that we can recalibrate. We will be happy to give you 1 reschedule.
