I have discovered over the years that group classes hinder teaching. They are good for specific workshops but if you truly want to improve yourself in this field a 1 on 1 is the best option. I offer two different types of in person classes, the first is a private 1 on 1 where the focus is on you. The second is an “open studio” styled lesson where i work alongside you but if you need help or have a question i am there to assist. The open studio sessions are for someone who knows how to throw already and is looking for critiques here and there while they are working.
Private class:
75/hr
Clay is included to an extent
Firing fees are separate
We work within your schedule and find the amount of time/day each week you would like to work.
Open studio session:
50/hr
Clay is 1 dollar a pound
Firing fees are separate
We work within your schedule and find the amount of time/day each week you would like to work.
There is no time limit to a class but I recommend at least 1.5 hours per session at minimum. Clean up takes about 10-15 minutes depending on your speed. I help with that during the private lessons but not in the open studio sessions.
If you are interested, the best way is to contact me via instagram. https://www.instagram.com/bellhillpottery/?hl=en
Or email me at Bellhillpottery@gmail.com but be warned that I only check my emails once every 3 weeks and I am on instagram daily.
The studio is located in a rustic, wood-heated barn, with comfortable chairs for those looking for a break. Plumbing is not yet a feature in the studio, but there are guest bathrooms available close by on the property.
There are three electric kilns on the property and a nine foot coffin wood kiln. You will have the option of how your work will be fired- electric, soda, or wood. However, due to the bimonthly schedule of the specialty atmospheric kilns, pieces will take longer than electric kilns. Students are encouraged to learn and be a part of the firing process, which unlike electric kilns, is very hands on and requires a lot of work. Atmospheric kilns, while more laborious, can produce greater variation in texture and color.
