Makerspace Members: Due to the heavily discounted ticket price for makerspace members, they will be expected to supply/purchase their own clay at class time. Apparel Come ready to get dirty -- Wear comfortable, washable clothes and bring an old towel! We recommend removing rings , wrist watches and long necklaces or eyeglass chains before the classes to avoid loss or tangles. It's also helpful to tie back long hair and trim long nails before working on the pottery wheel.
