Winter 2024
First some General Info about pottery classes at Pine Ridge :
All classes are here at the Studio which is at 6114 Carp Road, Kinburn Ont. K0A 2H0. It’s a long driveway, you won’t see the Studio from the road!
Classes are limited to 6 (occasionally 7) students. The Studio isn’t huge, and I like to be able to give each student enough attention.
All materials and firing are included. Fees are normally paid at the first session. I take cash, cheques, credit and debit cards and e-transfers!
To register for any class, just contact me.
I have had a great many requests for classes lately. Since I can only take a few students, you may want to also take a look at Hintonburg Pottery or Almonte Potter’s Guild. March Meadows in West Carleton also offers wheel classes. All run excellent classes.
As for Pine Ridge pottery classes, here’s the plan:
- Beginner’s Class: Monday evenings, 7 to 9pm. $150, 8 sessions, all materials and firing included. You’ll learn basic techniques such as making a small pinch pot, and get a chance to try a variety of ways of making something from clay. This is an introduction to clay only and concentrates on hand-building. It does not include using the potter’s wheel because I have only 2 wheels and that isn’t enough to accommodate more than 2 students. This will start on March 24, 2025. Class will be limited to 6 students.
- Projects Class: Tuesday or Thursday evenings, 7 to 9pm, $150 for 8 sessions. You will choose your own project. Most pottery projects take at least 2 sessions, one to make the work, and one to decorate/glaze it. All materials, within reason, and firing are included. Working on the wheel can be a project, but only 2 or possibly 3 people will be able to do that. For this class you will need at least some pottery skills. Starts Tuesday March 25, 2025 or Thursday March 27, 2025. Class will be limited to 6 people per session.
