CLASS MATERIALS
A materials/studio fee has been included in this course tuition for glazing and surface decoration materials, firing, equipment, and tools. No clay purchase necessary.
Students should bring a notebook. Each participant is allotted 2.5 cubic feet or 15-20 6x6x6 inch bisque fired work made from cone 6 clay. We also encourage students to bring a few extra “stuffer” pieces that are approximately 3x2x2 inches.
There is a materials/firing fee is for every 25 lbs (sleeve) of clay used. This fee goes towards glaze materials and firing costs (fuel, electricity, etc). Choose from white, red, porcelain or reclaimed (mix of camp and white) clay. More clay can be purchased if needed.
Due to the rise in cost from the supplier, Berkshire Art Center has raised the price of clay as of 9/21/2023.
