8 week Term - Wheel Open 3 hour

Open Wheel Term

3 hours x 8 weeks

$450 – 8x 3 hour classes

This is open term for Wheel Throwers who desire to make their own projects. This is an unstructured class with a teacher present to help your with your work, whatever that may be; Teapots, Large Vases, Mugs, Dinner sets, or just perfecting the simple things through repetition.

These classes are suited to potters that have already learnt the basics. Please don’t sign up to this class if you haven’t tried the wheel before as the teacher will not be able to cater to you. You’ll find the 8 Week Beginners Wheel term much more fun.

Open Wheel students will get 6kg of firing included with term fees. After this quota, firing is charged at $20/kg(slightly cheaper than our standard rate).

Clay is not supplied and you’ll need to purchase clay in the shop for this class. You can bring in clay you have bought elsewhere, but we’ll need to see the bag the clay came in.

Unfortunately we don’t offer refunds or credit for missed classes or signing up to this term accidentally.
