Skill: Beginner+

NEW! For advanced-beginner to intermediate students:  Joey Agcopra boosts your skills in making stronger cylinders and handling larger amounts of clay. Let’s get comfortable centering and pulling 4 to 6 pounds of clay.

In weeks 1-3, we begin each class with throwing exercises aimed at building muscle memory and moving clay more efficiently; projects include tumblers, big bowls, vases, plates, platters, and “blates”.

In weeks 4-6, we tackle lidded forms (a large cookie jar, perfect for the holidays), glazing skills for larger pieces, and spray-glazing for layered effects.

Tuesdays, 7pm – 10pm, Oct 27 to Dec 8

Enjoy one scheduled 3-hour class per week, open studio time, a variety of clays sold separately, 30+ gorgeous food-safe glazes, and consistent firings in our Bailey gas kilns. Studio clay is provided for throwing exercises; students purchase a bag of clay for projects they’ll glaze & finish.

Class takes place at Higher Fire Downtown — 499 S. Market St., San Jose, CA 95113.
