Monday Night Beginner Wheel

$450.00
sold out

6 week course, held Monday nights from September 14 to October 19.

6:30-9PM

Perfect for beginners, this wheel throwing class is a hands-on introduction to working with clay on the pottery wheel. Students will learn the fundamentals of throwing while building confidence creating their own functional ceramic pieces from start to finish. Along the way, we’ll cover essential techniques like trimming, handle attachment, and surface design techniques, and more. Expect a relaxed, creative environment where you can slow down, get your hands dirty, and experience the joy of making something from scratch. There’s nothing quite like drinking your morning coffee from a mug you made yourself!

Additional Info:

  • Price includes instruction, unlimited studio clay, tools, glazes and firings.

  • Students have access to one open studio session per week to independently practice skills learned in class. Students have access to open studio between weeks 2-5 of their class.

  • Students can expect to complete approximately 3–4 finished pieces during the course.

  • Classes are limited to 8 people.

  • Pieces measuring 12 inches or larger in any direction will incur additional firing fees. Oversized work is charged at $0.04 per cubic inch for bisque firing and $0.04 per cubic inch for glaze firing, per piece.

  • Our classes are designed to support learning, creativity, and skill-building rather than high-volume production. We encourage students to slow down, experiment, and enjoy the process of making by hand.

  • We strongly recommend you attend the first and last two classes.

Cancellations must be made 1 week before the first day of class to be eligible for a partial refund ($25 cancellation fee). Absences are non-refundable.
