Registration begins March 15th, 2025
Your kids will have a blast this summer taking a pottery class at KC Clay Guild! We have 4 class sessions available to fit just about any schedule. Your child will learn the basics of hand building (techniques like pinch, coil, and slab) or wheel throwing (using the potter's wheel). Each student will have several finished glazed pieces to bring home at the end of every session.
Please read carefully before registering:
We offer 3 wheel throwing and 3 handbuilding each week.
Classes are 1.5 hours; a slightly shorter class is typically better for younger students.
Students may take only one handbuilding class and one wheel throwing class per Summer.
Class sizes are capped at 8 students to ensure the best teacher/student ratio.
If 2 or more friends are registering for a class, we suggest one parent handles all registrations to ensure everyone gets in the correct class.
We can not allow students to stay in the building between classes - a student could take both wheel throwing and handbuilding in the same week, but the student will need to be picked up between classes.
Questions? Please contact our Education Coordinator, Amy (edco@kcclayguild.org).
