LSPS-LC is staffed by the volunteers who are overlooked by the non-profit’s board members. What is the cost of the classes? The cost of the Beginning, Intermediate and Advanced Wheelthrowing, and Handbuilding are $280 each (which includes up to 100 lbs. of clay). The Independent Study session (that does not include clay supplies) cost $145. Children’s classes cost $125 (which includes up tp 50 lbs. of clay). How is clay distributed? The Beginning, Handbuilding, Intermediate, and Advanced students are allocated up to 100 lbs of clay per 8-week class session. The clay comes in 12.5lb bags, and as more clay is needed students may simply ask for more during class time. The amounts of clay will be kept track of in the attendance book. The Independent Study students need to buy clay from the studio at $2 per pound. This price is to cover the cost of the clay, glazes, and firings, so that there are no extra loading or firing charges. If any of the handbuilding and wheelthrowing students need more than 100 lbs during a session they would pay the same price per pound. Does the studio recycle its own clay? No, since there is a charge on extra clay students will be taught to recycle their own clay. How long are the class sessions? 8 weeks. Can I sign up for a class in the middle of a session? If there is room in the class then yes, you can sign up for the rest of the session, but price, instruction, etc. must be worked out on a case-by-case basis. When’s the next session starting? For upcoming sessions, please refer to our Class Schedule. How do I sign up for a class? Visit us at 4150 N. Lincoln and sign up in person or by e-mail. How long is each class?
