Queer Clay Day
About
A free day of clay at Saltstone Ceramics for the queer community, running Saturday, November 14 from 11 am to 5 pm. The studio is at 2206 N 45th St in Wallingford, served by Metro route 44. There is no charge, though the studio lists it as a $0 ticket to reserve through its shop. Saltstone's $25 Queer Night on the wheel follows on November 22.

New to pottery?
Most first classes are either a wheel taster, where you learn to centre clay and pull up a cylinder, or hand-building, where you shape a mug, dish or planter with pinch, coil and slab techniques.
- Wear clothes that can get muddy and keep nails short; rings and bracelets come off before the wheel.
- Expect two to three hours for a single session. Clay, tools and firing are almost always in the price; glazing sometimes costs extra.
- A one-time class is the cheap way to find out whether you want a five- or six-week course, which is where the wheel actually starts to click.
Taking it home: Not on the day. Pieces dry, are fired, glazed and fired again, so studios usually hold them for two to four weeks.
