General course details.

• Handbuilding incorporates the use of coiling, modelling and slab-building techniques to manipulate clay into more free-form pieces.

• Wheelwork involves learning throwing and associated skills on the potter's wheel. You will be taught how to centre clay and pull up a basic cylinder. This form is the stepping stone to more complex shapes such as bowls, plates, etc., which are covered in the latter part of the course.

• In all classes you will learn to wax, decorate and glaze your pots and although the work is fired for you, a fundamental knowledge of the firing process will be gained.

• The adult course firing charge is $4.40 per kg. This includes bisque (first) firing, glaze firing, and use of glazes. A range of clays is available for purchase with prices from approx. $13 per 10kg bag. Tools are also available for purchase. CPS members receive discounts on firing (20%) and clay purchases (10%).

• Any classes missed may be made up at any time during the term at an equivalent class without notice, but missed classes will not be transferred to the next term.

• Classes are run subject to numbers. Full payment is required at the time of enrolment.

• CPS member discounts apply. EFTPOS available
