Course Outline
Our classes are perfect for beginners, offering personalized attention in a cozy setting.

Here’s what each week will cover:
Lesson 1 (1.5 hrs): Crafting a Large Custom Designed Plate :- Get ready to get your hands dirty! You’ll learn how to use the potter’s wheel and shape clay into your own plate. By the end of the session, you’ll have made your first piece from scratch!

1 Week later (1.5 hrs): Trimming and Carving Techniques :- Your creations will be dry enough to refine, giving them a smooth finish that’s both polished and professional.
2 Weeks later (1 hrs): Glazing for Finishing Touches :- It’s time to make your pieces pop! You’ll learn the art of glazing, adding that final touch to make your dinnerware truly shine.

At Bedia Pottery Studio, we offer Free Firing & DIY Glazing as part of our workshop experience.
After your creation has dried for about 2 weeks, we’ll place it in our kiln for its initial firing, known as a bisque fire, reaching temperatures of 1000 degrees. This process typically takes around 24 hours.
Once your piece has cooled down, we’ll reach out to schedule a time for you to visit the studio and apply your chosen glazes. We have a wide array of beautiful colors available for you to use, all included in your workshop ticket price.
After glazing, we’ll fire your piece once again to set the glaze, making it waterproof and food-safe.
We understand that good things take time, but remember, this entire process is optional! If you prefer, you’re more than welcome to take your creation home to air dry instead. We want to ensure your pottery experience is tailored to your preferences.

Unfortunately, no. It typically takes 1-2 weeks for us to dry and bisque fire your pieces. After that, you’ll need to return for the glazing session. If time constraints prevent you from attending the glazing session, we can apply a transparent glaze to your pieces to make them shiny and food-safe. Once they’re ready, you can collect them from our studio.
