All levels of clay experience welcome!

Have you ever wanted to try making pottery? Has it been a while since you’ve thrown on the wheel and you want to refresh your throwing skills? This is for you! 6 wheel throwing classes!

Students will meet for 2.5 hrs, 6:30pm- 9pm, once a week for six weeks You will be able to progress at your own speed and instruction will be catered to your particular skill level. The class must have 4 people to run.

This class series will take you through the various stages of wheel throwing such as, wedging, centering and the actual shaping of a piece, trimming and glazing. The first 2 classes will be heavy in throwing instruction. Around the third or fourth class most students feel comfortable exploring the wheel with little instruction. The last 2 classes will focus on decoration and glazing. 25lbs of clay will be provided. Be sure to wear old clothes or bring an apron and towel.
