Pottery

Pottery Students may select from either wheel or handbuilding classes for all skill levels. Chastain offers the following firing options: high fire in a gas fired reduction kiln, low fire oxidation, raku kiln and Sagger. Unique surface decorations are available including terra sigillata, underglazes, stains, engobes, and other low fire commercial glazes.

PLEASE NOTE:
- Pottery students will be issued one bag of clay the first day of class. If clay is not claimed during the current semester, it cannot be claimed during a later semester.
- Students are responsible for purchasing tools for ceramics.
- Only clay purchased through the center and glazes provided by the Center will be fired.
- A $10 materials fee is included in the class fee for consumable supplies provided by the Center.

POTTERY ON THE WHEEL Students will examine an array of wheel-thrown pottery techniques. The focus is on basic throwing skills as well as glazing, decorating, and firing. Bring pottery tools and a towel or apron to use in class.
