Woodmoor Elementary School 2021 Clay Classes
Registration for this class has closed
This class is only open to current students of Woodmoor Elementary.
This will be an online class that students will do at home while I am live from my studio - see details below.
Students will explore various methods of handbuilding with natural clay. They will learn to sculpt, work with clay slabs and glaze and will complete 4 projects during a 6-week session. All materials are non toxic. Fee includes all materials and firings. Space is limited. Students will be taken in order of registration.
Registration is not complete until payment is made. If you opt to pay by check or Venmo, please send it within 24 hours of receiving an email confirming registration.
Scholarships are available and confidential. Please request at time of registration (see below).
Cost: $105/student/session + a $20 refundable kit fee.
This kit fee will be charged at time of registration and will be fully refunded back to you when I receive back all my tools and forms that we will use in the class - sorry, based on past experience, this is necessary.

Registration for each session will close on the Friday prior to the first class or when the class is full.
Scholarships
Full or partial scholarships may be available by request (free/reduced lunch). Please register your child first (to save a spot) and note this in the comment section. Then the scholarship request needs to be from the parent to the pta directly at woodmoorptsachair@gmail.com.
Parent Assistant
If you would like to do this, you get 50% off your tuition.
The online class will be hosted by a parent helper who will use the PTA Zoom to start the class, let students in and help monitor questions (mute and unmute students), interrupt me if there is a question, etc while I teach the class.
We also need a drop off / pick up location as we are not able to use the school at this time.
Please let me know if you have a garage or space that you would allow us to use for transferring materials back and forth a few times during the 6 weeks (see below). The schedule below is tentative and can be narrowed down somewhat as you like. My place is near Cottage Lake so I'm hoping to find a place closer to the school.
How this will work to do a virtual clay class!
Doing a virtual pottery class will require some back and forth of projects.
We are using real clay for these projects and they will need to be fired in my kiln.
I will provide each student with a kit that includes everything needed to complete the projects at home.
I will send an email each week listing what will be needed for that week's project.
I am working on having as a drop off / pick up location of materials and projects close to Woodmoor. If you would like to volunteer your garage for this, please get in touch with me.
