Student Information 

Lab Fees

Intermediate and advanced students generally produce more work than introductory students. The lab fee covers the cost of most of the additional firings and glazes, as well as the staff time taken to fire the additional work. In some cases, the lab fee covers additional materials needed or additional instructor time in classes with firings. For handbuilding classes, students may incur extra firing charges if their work occupies a large volume of kiln space.

Minimum Age Requirements

Only students ages 18 and up are eligible to register for NCC’s adult classes.

Tools

Standard tool kits for introductory classes are available in NCC’s Sales Gallery for $16. Other specialty tools are available as well.

Open Studio

The tuition for regular adult classes includes access to open studio time. On average, at least one classroom with potter’s wheels and a handbuilding table is available between 9 am and 9 pm Tuesday through Sunday, and from 9 pm to midnight on Thursday evenings. NCC reserves the right to close open studio for special classes or workshops. The Center has three large studios (two wheel-throwing and one handbuilding), as well as Studio D, a smaller classroom, used for special workshops, family classes, visiting artists, and occasional open studio time.
