2-Week Pottery Wheel Experience: Throw & Trim! STARTS APRIL 22rd 11-2pm!
Ready to dip your hands into pottery but not quite ready to commit to a longer course? This 2-week adult pottery wheel class is the perfect introduction. Whether you're totally new or just a bit rusty, you'll learn the basics of throwing and trimming with expert guidance—and still walk away with beautiful hand-thrown pieces to keep.
What to expect:
-
Week 1: Learn the fundamentals of wheel throwing. Our expert instructor will demonstrate key techniques, then you'll get hands-on time to throw your own small vessels.
-
Week 2: Come back to trim and refine your creations with help from your instructor. Learn how to clean up your pieces, shape foot rings, and prepare them for finishing.
After class, your instructor will glaze your pieces for you—just choose your favorite from our curated collection of glazes. In three weeks, your finished pieces will be ready for pick-up and ready to enjoy for years to come.
