Beginning Wheel Throwing age 10+
This is a casual, introductory wheel-throwing class for beginners or those with limited experience. Intermediate and Advanced classes require this as a prerequisite.
You will be provided expert instruction to learn the formative techniques to create cylinders that you can turn into mugs, bowls, cups and small vases. This is achieved through various techniques including centering, opening, and pulling. We will also cover the basics of trimming and glazing your piece(s) for the final firing. Pieces are ready for pickup after 2 weeks from when they are completed.
Clay & glazing is included in the tuition. No outside clay is permitted. Communal tools are provided or you may bring your own tools if desired. Studio expectations include cleanup of potter’s wheel, bucket and tools at the end of each class. Sign all work or it will be recycled.
