This 6-week class will be a great exercise for anyone who wants to make unique work with more character. We will throw on the pottery wheel, and then we will take those forms and dramatically alter them into something new! Our goal in this class is to give you the best possible clay education while keeping the vibe and atmosphere fun and inviting. Specifically, for wheel, you'll learn centering via coning up and down, opening the form, pulling the walls of the clay pot, trimming your pots (carving and finishing the bottoms), and glazing them (the top coat). The alterations will lean into hand-building techniques, such as slabs, coils, attachments, and textures. Advanced students will be given room to explore and will be guided towards their goals. This 6-week course will meet every Tuesday evening beginning November 3rd, with the final class being held on December 15th (please note, there will be NO CLASS 11/24). There is one make-up session per person/ per class if you are sick or life gets in the way. Please email us if you need to reschedule, and we will coordinate with you!

Check out the agenda section next for a breakdown of what we have planned for each week. Additionally, we have other classes and 1-day pottery workshops, all listed now through the end of the year! Visit our events page for a full list of happenings :)

All classes and workshops are open to anyone over the age of 10 years old (unless otherwise stated), and any person under the age of 13 must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
