Wheel throwing in a day
In this single-session pottery class, learn the basics of throwing pottery on the potter’s wheel with demos and the chance to try it yourself. Learn how to wedge a ball of clay, stick it on the wheel with gusto, center it, lift and pull it into a cup, vase, bowl, or candlestick holder. At the end of the evening, choose your favorite piece and the glaze you want. We will dry, bisque fire, glaze and glaze-fire your pot for you.

This beginner friendly class will introduce you to the most accessible way to make a pot, then guide you through a range of building techniques available to potters. You can advance with the clay, increasing your repertoire of forms using slab, coil, and pinch methods, as well as learning to throw on the wheel. Participants will be taught basic wheel–throwing skills and techniques such as centering, pulling cylinders, shaping, trimming, pulling handles, decorating and glazing. Participants will practice making cups, handled mugs, bowls, plates, and vases on the pottery wheel. Decoration will include a variety of colorful slips and glazes. Pottery will be microwave and dishwasher safe.
Clay is never boring; there is always more to explore, more to try out and more to create. This is a highly repeatable class.

This is a friendly prerequisite pottery class that will cover the broadest range of working with clay, to give students as many foundational tools and techniques for working with clay as possible. In this class, students will learn both hand building and wheel throwing techniques, and experiment with slips and glazes. While wheel throwing skills take time to develop, students will also learn how to pinch, coil, and slab-build pots and structures. With these three hand building methods, you will be able to make just about any object out of clay. With hand building, clay adapts to your level quickly, so you can begin producing playful forms on the first day of class.
A variety of techniques and processes will be used to create handmade pottery that is both dishwasher and microwave safe.
