Spaces for the pottery are classes are extremely limited, as our regular students have priority to renew their spaces at the end of each term. If you would like to be put on our waiting list, please contact us and indicate on to which class list you would like to be added. (Tuesday Eve 7 -9 pm, Wednesday Afternoon 1 - 3 pm or Wednesday Eve 7 - 9 pm - you are welcome to add yourself to all three lists). Please provide a telephone number and if applying for more than one person, please indicate if you would accept a single place, or if you only want to join together. We keep a precise date related record of all people on the waiting list and as soon as a space becomes available for a new term, we offer it to the person at the top of the list. Things do change during the year and a space may become available in a matter of weeks, but sometimes it can be several months or longer. Details of waiting list numbers are available below and are updated regularly. |

The classes are suitable for all levels of ability. There are three classes during the week on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings and Wednesday afternoon. Each class runs for two hours.
PAYMENT:- Classes cost £6.50 per session which is payable in full at start of each term by post-dated-cheque made payable to "Zoo Ceramics." Materials are extra and on average cost between £10.00 - £25.00 per term; depending on size of work and the clay and glazes being used.
WHERE:- At the Zoo Ceramics studio work shop in Waddington village, five minutes outside Lincoln. There are lots of free parking spaces in the area and we also have a large driveway. Go through the garden and under the trellis to the cottage entrance at the rear. To view a map go to the VISIT section.

WHAT TO BRING:- All tools and materials are provided, but you may want to bring some personal tools and a sketch book . All you need to bring is an overall.
REFRESHMENTS:- Complimentary drinks are provided in the middle of each session.
PROJECTS:- Each term we introduce a creative project to inspire and challenge the students; who are welcome to take part if they wish. Previous themes have included "Genealogy", and the cryptic titles "In the Box" and "Hidden by Design."
THEME FOR THIS TERM :-
2012 Term 1 "In the Round "
Term 2 Raku
Term 3
Term 2 Raku

GRASSHOPPER:- We operate a "grasshopper" system, whereby if you miss a class, you have the option to" jump" on to another session in the following weeks to catch up. In this way you will not loss any money due to holidays or illness. This system only works if you inform us of any sessions you are going to miss, so that we can offer them to another student waiting for a space.
RAKU:- The Summer Barbeque Raku session is a popular event, which includes lots of food and flames. You can see images of this event and pictures of the class work by clicking on the links at the bottom.
CHRISTMAS PARTY:- In December when the classes have finished we organise an optional get-together where we eat, drink and merrily announce the winners of the Project Competition.
OPEN STUDIO:- On occasion we have an extended FREE FAMILY AND FRIENDS session, where you can spend time catching up on some work, or bringing along a friend or family member to explore the clay. These sessions are for members only and each student is responsible for any work their guest produces.
