Curious about working on the pottery wheel? This beginner-friendly workshop offers an opportunity to try wheel throwing for the first time or refresh skills learned in a previous class.
A ceramic teaching artist will demonstrate the basic steps of centering clay and forming a simple piece, such as a small bowl or cup. Participants will then receive hands-on guidance as they experiment with the wheel and create their own work.
Time: Saturdays, 10:00 AM–12:30 PM
Instruction: 10:00 AM–12:00 PM
Finishing and cleanup: 12:00–12:30 PM
Tuition and Firing
Finished Work and Pickup
Ceramic work cannot be taken home on the day of the workshop. After class, each piece must dry completely before it can be fired and glazed.
The studio will apply a clear glaze to each selected piece. Depending on the project and available class time, participants may also have an opportunity to decorate their work with underglaze.
For pottery wheel workshops, the instructor will minimally trim the bottom of the selected piece to remove sharp edges and prepare it for firing.
Finished work will generally be ready for pickup approximately three to four weeks after the workshop. Because ceramics involves multiple stages and firings, occasional cracking, warping, or other unexpected results may occur.
