Most pottery classes include clay, tools, and firing in the course fee. For example, the Beginner Wheel Course includes 1 x 10kg bag of stoneware clay, tools, and firing.

Some classes like Studio Access Times require you to bring your own materials if working independently, though clay and glazes are provided.
