POTTERS WHEEL – Adult, 4 or 8-week Workshop.

This workshop is for beginner to intermediate builders and will either get you started or freshen you up on wheel throwing and hand building clay creations. Our program is a rotating program, meaning, you can start in any Wednesday 6-8pm. We give you a card to mark your progression and our instructor teaches you according to your level and what you want to learn.
Should Wednesday eves not work for you, email us and we may be able to work something out.

During these classes, depending on your level of the wheel, you will learn fundamental skills of throwing or advanced throwing, centering, building rights and wrongs, why’s and why not’s.

4 week workshop: primarily 4 weeks of building your skills, making various items. If you have something in mind to make, let us know, we can work up to it or on it depending on your skill level.

8 week workshop: weeks 1-6 we will be building, week 7, while your pieces are being bisque fired we will discuss and glaze a complimentary sample piece. Week 8 you will glaze your pieces.

Each week you are welcome to enjoy up to 4 additional hours of Open Studio time where you can purchase more clay for making additional creations while you work on your skills without instruction.

Workshop Includes up to 25lbs of clay, (12 lbs for 4 week workshop) use of our facility and tools, glaze and the firing of your best pieces. The pieces you made here at our studio will be ready for pick up within 2 – 3 weeks. We will call and email you.

Please Note:
1. Makeup Classes we try to be as flexible as we can, we don’t want you missing out.
2. You are responsible for cleaning up your station and tools at the end of each class.
3. You have up to two additional weeks to finish your allotted Open Studio time.
