Pottery Class | serayupot

THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE JOIN THE CLASS

1. Be ready to get messy – Pottery involves working with wet clay, which can get on your hands, clothes, and shoes.

2. Respect the studio rules

3. As all classes at our studio are by appointment, we kindly ask you to arrive on time. Please note that any delay on your part will affect the duration of your session, as we have other customers scheduled after your class

4. Pottery is a time - consuming process that requires patience. After shaping the form, the piece needs to go through several stages:

Forming the shape – using a pottery wheel for symmetrical shapes
Drying (Leather Hard & Bone Dry) – This can take several days to ensure no moisture remains before firing.
Bisque Firing – The first firing process to harden the clay, which takes time to heat up and cool down.
Glazing – Applying glaze and letting it dry properly.
Glaze Firing – A second high-temperature firing, which also requires slow cooling to prevent cracks.
Because of these steps, you usually can’t take your pottery home immediately after shaping it. Instead, you may need to wait a few days or even weeks before getting the final result.

5. We will inform you once your final product is ready after the final firing process. Please note that the delivery cost will be added to your bill. Additionally, we do not offer international shipping at this time

Pottery Class Throwing (earthenware clay)

Earthenware clays are the oldest clays used by potters and happen to be the most common today. It is very plastic and is beginner-friendly. Earthenware pottery is not ideal for food or drink because of earthenware is fired at a lower temperature (around 700 – 800°C), making it porous and prone to absorbing water, oils, and bacteria. Without a proper glaze, it can retain moisture and lead to mold growth over time. Since it's porous, liquids can seep through unglazed surfaces, causing staining or even leakage. In some cases, certain glazes may contain lead or other harmful substances, which can leach into food and drinks. If you need pottery for food or drinks, stoneware or porcelain is a better choice as they are non-porous and more durable. While earthenware is not safe for food and drink unless properly glazed, it still has many creative and functional uses such as : home decor (vases, sculpures etc), storage & organization (jewelry holders, candle holders etc), garden and outdoor use (terracotta pots, outdoor lanterns etc), art and craft uses (painting and customization, clay sculpting practice)

Pottery Class Handbuilding (stoneware clay)

Handbuilding is a ceramics technique that allows you to create forms with clay and your hands, without using a throwing wheel. Before ceramicists invented the wheel, handbuilding was the only way they could create functional and artistic ceramic forms. While handbuilding is as simple as using your hands to form an object out of clay, it encompasses three main techniques and forming methods. Once you have mastered pinching, coiling, and slab building, you can make just about anything out of clay.

Pottery done on the wheel looks standard, but that doesn’t necessarily make it better either. Handbuilding techniques tend to have more personality. Most hand-building ceramics have a more rustic look that appears rough around the edges. A potter must work hard with hand-building to make it look its best.
