Date Night on the Pottery Wheel | Sun Jan 26th 4pm-7pm

Class Description

Quench your pottery wheel curiosity with this fun twist on our Intro to Pottery Wheel Class - specifically for couples! 

We start with a behind-the-scenes tour of the pottery studio before moving on to the basics of how to prepare the clay with a technique called wedging. This process will set us up for success once we jump onto the wheel! After preparing our clay, the instructor will provide a brief demonstration. Then we'll jump into a laughter-inducing "Ghost Challenge" where couples, together on one wheel, will try their best to make a vessel to the sweet sounds of Unchained Melody by the Righteous Brothers - a fun nod to Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore's iconic "Ghost" scene.

Afterwards, each person will work on their own wheel and be guided through the five main steps we go through when throwing a piece of pottery on the wheel. Hands-on-corrections will be provided as needed. 

Each student will be provided 4 x 1.5 lbs balls of clay to practice with throughout the class. If students would like to keep any of the pieces made during the class, they can do so for $10-$15 per piece. This fee covers the cost of the clay, two firings, and labor to finish your piece after the class concludes. 

Finished pots are usually ready for pick up within 3-6 weeks of the class. Pots must be picked up within 30 days of completion. Shipping can be arranged for an additional fee. 

The instructor for this class is Jacqueline A.
