The Wedge Ceramics Studio

I came here to buy a bag of clay for my ceramics class I’m taking at TMCC so I didn’t hang around much but they had what I was looking. I actually came here because I was gonna buy a bag of porcelain to throw with on the wheel, but I decided against it because the guy working recommended this really good clay. It was called the b mix cone 5 with grog (sand) it was a big hit in my class and everyone wanted to use it. That particular clay is softer than most but it has sand in it so it’s more sturdy.
I will be back for more clay soon I went through a twenty pound bag almost, because I kept letting people use my new clay. The price was really great 12.50 for 20 pounds of clay can’t beat that. Be sure to bring cash just in case the ipad thing that reads cards wasn’t working, so I had to run to the bank to get cash.

I took a beginning pottery class here in March and had such a great time! Bryan Stieger was our instructor and he was outstanding at demonstrating and explaining techniques to us. We had 6 people in our class and it was fun getting to know the other students also. Sam and Sutter (the owners) came in to the studio each day and we got to know them too.
On day 1 we learned how to wedge the clay and how to get it centered on the wheel. Bryan showed us how to ‘pull’ a cylinder and cut/​slice it off the wheel when we were finished.
On day 2 we learned how to throw bowls and plates and how to trim our pieces
On day 3 we all practiced trimming our pieces. We then had to have an ‘extra’ class (kind of like detention, but fun) to learn about glazing and glaze all the pieces we made.
I had so much fun that I’ve purchased a «punch card» so I can continue to come in and play with the clay.
The owners, and our instructor, and the other studio members that we met over the course of our class were all very friendly and helpful in teaching us techniques.
The first day I used my punch card, both Bryan and Sutter were around, and they helped me with any (and I had several) questions. Sutter helped ‘save’ the plate that I turned that had collapsed on itself.
Five stars all the way! Check out their website.
