Spring Break Kids Wheel Throwing
March 31st, April 2nd, April 7th or April 9th
Our Spring Break 1-Time wheel classes are a great way for your child to start their adventure in clay! You may sign them up for multiple dates, just select each of the tuitions you want for them. This is a class just for school-aged kids 6-18 yrs.
Come learn wheel-throwing basics like coning, centering and pulling. Expect to get messy while learning in a fun, lively environment. When they make a cup/bowl/plate successfully, we will trim it professionally and glaze it for you in one of our shop glazes and you pick it up in a couple of weeks. Each participant is allowed to keep 2 pieces that they make, as well as select their glaze colors. Projects will be ready in approximately 4 weeks.
Learn the basics of the pottery wheel in a supportive learning environment taught by a professional artist with decades of experience. This class is meant to introduce you to wheel-throwing technique. If your child enjoys this experience, we suggest that you consider one of our beginning wheel-throwing class for 8 weeks or one of our upcoming wheel throwing Summer Camps to continue to practice and grow as a budding artist.

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.

No clay experience? No problem! This project is perfect for both beginner and experienced potters.

Pokémon Figure Sculpting (Age 8 to Adults)
Sat April 18th 10am-12:30pm
POKEMON/Cute Animal Sculpting

This is a great option for families and groups of friends who also love Pokémon or learn to sculpt in 3D other fun animals like Hello Kitty, Bluey, bunnies, dogs, dinos and more!
Participants will form their creature from scratch (approx 3″-5″ tall) with guided instruction and hands-on assistance if needed, however students are expected to do most of the work themselves. Once fired to bisque stage, you will return to glaze it yourself, ready in about 2 weeks.
Tuition is all-inclusive. If this class does not fill to our minimum, we will reschedule or refund the tuition.
Bring photos of whichever Pokemon you hope to sculpt or use your phone as reference during the process.

Bulbasaur, Squirtle, Charmander, Pikachu, Clefairy, Jigglypuff, Mew, Psyduck, Poliwag, Slowpoke, Eevee, Dratini, Gloom, Fuecoco, Smolive, & more! (Simple, round-shaped Pokémon are ideal for this beginner session). However, if you are up for a greater challenge, you may attempt a more complex creature of your choice. Bring photos of whichever Pokemon you hope to sculpt or use your phone as reference during the process.
