Private Instruction in Ceramics
92Y offers private instruction on Saturdays to students who are interested in exploring special topics or techniques (glazing, improving throwing skills, etc.). Participants work one-on-one with a 92Y faculty member within a shared studio and receive access to a firing card and open studio time. All fees apply. Single hourly lessons may be scheduled at $95 per hour or purchased as a multi-lesson package at a discounted rate. If you are interested in learning more, please call Bobby Silverman at 212.415.5565.
Independent Study
Students with substantial clay experience can pursue their own projects outside of a structured class in independent study. This program provides access to classroom space during all open studio hours throughout the semester. All firing fees remain the same. Approval of the director and attendance at an orientation is required. For more information, call Bobby Silverman at 212.415.5565.
