[Tuesdays] Intermediate Ramen 4-Week January Course

Overview

The Intermediate Ramen Bowl Course is a 4-week class created for students who already have experience centering, pulling even walls, and using basic wheel-throwing techniques. This series focuses on refining skill, expanding form, and developing expressive surface decoration while creating functional ramen bowls and complementary accessories. All students receive their own clay allotment and a personal locker for the duration of the course. You may use both during open studio hours, giving you the opportunity to practice independently between classes. Optional practice time is available between Weeks 1 and 3 to strengthen throwing, trimming, and centering skills. Classes meet Tuesdays from 6:30–8:30 PM, beginning January 6. Class size is limited to 13 students to ensure personalized instruction and hands-on support. Most students complete 3–5 final pieces (maximum of 6 to ensure kiln space).

Refund Policy

Non-refundable 5 days before the start. A $25 cancellation fee applies before this. Participants under 18 must be accompanied by an adult who is also enrolled in the course.
