This listing is for the Wednesday 6:30pm-9:30pm class. This class runs during the Fall term which runs from 11/03-12/23 2025.
This class is perfect for complete beginners to get comfortable and introduced to pottery making on the wheel. Your instructor will guide you through fundamental wheel-throwing techniques while also introducing various surface design and decorating methods. Each week, students will practice their skills on the wheel by learning how to throw cups, bowls, and plates. You'll also learn trimming, firing, and a variety of surface decorating techniques. These techniques are interesting to explore and experiment with, but students are not expected to master all of them.
The studio has limited tools and tiles for community use. Feel free to purchase your own bat system and bring your own tools, which you can store at the studio. Please note that clay and firing fees are not included in the cost of class and must be purchased separately at an additional cost. Open studio is free and unlimited, and each student is issued their own private shelf to store works in progress and tools for the duration of the class.
