Kids Pottery Wheel

Class Description

Children aged 6-12 throw a small bowl on the pottery wheel! No prior experience needed for this 2-hour fun introduction. We create a 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 3 x 1 lb balls of clay to practice with throughout the class. At the end of the class students can pick 1 piece they would like to go through the firing process. 

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.
