Let your creativity take a spin on the potter’s wheel! New students will learn all the essentials, how to wedge clay, center confidently, throw cylinders, trim, and glaze. Continuing students can level up by creating bowls, plates, and other wheel-thrown wonders. Your instructor will demonstrate each step and offer hands-on help whenever you need it. (Trust us, repeating this course only makes you better.) Don’t forget to bring an old kitchen towel that you won’t mind getting gloriously clay-covered! We kindly request that you wear closed-toe shoes.

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.
