This course introduces new students to the basics of the potter’s wheel—how to wedge clay, center, throw cylinders, trim, and glaze. Continuing students will build skills by learning how to create bowls and plates. Your teacher will demonstrate and provide hands-on help when needed. Students benefit from repeating this course.

Materials

NEW: Clay will be provided for students. Glazes and firing are also included in the class price. Please bring an old kitchen towel you don’t mind getting dirty and wear closed-toe shoes.
