Ceramics Class Request Form
Thank you for taking an interest in a ceramics class at AMS. Please fill out this form to let Chloe, the instructor, know about your interest and a few other details.

You do not have to be an AMS member to take a class.

Ceramics classes are $37.50 an hour for AMS members and $45 an hour for non-AMS members (for transparency the instructor makes $30 per hour and AMS gets a percentage of it based on membership status, plus $1.50 per pound of clay the student uses.) A first lesson for someone brand new to the art takes around 90 minutes. Venmo, PayPal and Cash are preferred.

Lessons for beginners take students through the basics of how ceramics projects come to be- 
1. prepping your clay, 
2. a demo on the steps of throwing
3. 1-on-1 guidance for you to throw
4. overview of the steps after throwing, to get your finished project
5. how to properly clean-up after a throwing session

Chloe also does classes on trimming, glazing, hand-building, and more.

Wheel throwing takes a while to get used to, so new students should know that they may not have any projects make it through during the first few classes. They will also not have a finished product after the first session. A piece needs to be trimmed, dried for several days, then fired in the kiln to be useable, and the optional step of glazing takes extra time as well. Students can plan subsequent lessons to learn trimming and glazing. 

The lessons can get messy, but clay does not stain and we have aprons for you to use, comfy pants and a t-Shirt are recommended for lessons. 

AMS currently has 3 throwing wheels, 1 being wheelchair accessible. 

Nights and weekends work best for lesson times.
