MERA’s pottery studio is always keen to welcome new potters.

The best way to join us is to enroll in our introduction to pottery class – a 6 week series of 2 ½ hour classes offering a taste of wheel work, hand building, sgraffito and glazing. The objective of the six week session is to introduce potential potters to working with clay, and to participating in a shared studio. The fee is $200 (with MERA membership). We’re ready to run two sessions this fall.

INTERMEDIATE students on Monday evenings from 6:30 to 9:00pm. The 6 week session will run from September 22 through October 27. Six spaces available. I will ask you to buy your own clay.

Once you fall in love with potting you can become a studio member by
1 – becoming a member of MERA, (individual or new family membership $60.00)
2 – paying the annual studio fee of $60.00,
3 – signing up for our WhatsApp chat (ask Alexis to add your address), and
4 – buying your first block of clay. We sell the clay for $35.00/bag.Clay used in the studio must be bought through the studio (the easiest way to ensure that we are all using the same clay. It makes creating glazes and firing our work less complicated). The studio fee and clay purchases give you access to the studio’s tools and equipment and cover the cost of glazes and firing.
