Class Schedule and Pricing

Students can purchase blocks of classes, at 4 classes each, for $120.00 (i.e., $30.00 per class).

For beginners, the class price includes clay, glaze, firing and use of tools. Once a student gets quicker and more productive, I charge extra for materials, but that is not a factor for a while. Roughly 8 classes is enough to get an overview of all the basic hand building methods. Roughly another 8-12 weeks is enough to get comfortable with wheel throwing. Teens and adults can start with the wheel, but younger kids should do hand building first.

If you want to just do 4 classes, you can still get about 3-4 projects done, including glazing.

To reserve a place in a class:
1) Call (530) 626-3871 to see if an opening is available. It's a landline, so please speak clearly.
2) If I have a spot, you can reserve it by mailing a check for $30.00 to Placerville Clayworks at 800 Skyline Ct., Placerville, CA 95667
3) Students purchase classes in blocks of 4, so the remaining balance of $90.00 is due at the 1st class.
4) If you want more than 4 classes, let me know ASAP. If I have not already booked that spot, you can re-up continuously, in order to learn new techniques and improve skills.

Cancellations: If you fail to show up at the 1st class, the $30.00 is non-refundable. If you have given me a deposit for the 1st class and cancel with 7 days notice, I will give a 50% refund. If you are absent from a class during your first 8 classes, the class fee is not credited, although sometimes (no promises) I can fit you into a make-up class. From class #9 and on, if you skip one, I charge a place-holding fee of $15.00 per missed class, and credit or refund the rest. Snow days, power outages, and excessively smoky days will cause me to cancel classes, in which case I give credits or refunds.
