Intro to Pottery Wheel | Sat May 24th 10am-1pm

Class Description

Have you always been curious about what it is like to use a pottery wheel? Or perhaps you took a pottery class in high school and/or college and have been dying to sink your fingers back into clay ever since. Look no further! No prior experience needed for this 2-hour introduction to working on the pottery wheel. We focus on creating a relaxing and memorable experience as we slowly walk through each step of the process.

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 demonstration of the five main steps we go through when throwing a piece of pottery on the wheel. Students will then be guided step-by-step through each skill, and provided hands-on-corrections as needed. 

Each student will be provided 4 x 1.5 lb balls of clay to practice with throughout the class.

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.
