Class Details

Explore the art of ceramics at the wheel in this all-levels class designed for both beginners and returning students. Whether you’re brand new to wheel throwing or looking to refine your skills, this class offers step-by-step instruction tailored to your experience level. Students will learn and practice essential techniques such as centering, pulling walls, shaping forms, trimming, and glazing. Beginners will build a strong foundation, while more experienced students will focus on improving consistency, exploring new forms, and developing their personal style. With demonstrations, hands-on practice, and individualized feedback, this class provides a supportive and creative environment to grow your skills and confidence on the wheel. Students will finish the course with a collection of functional ceramic pieces.

All ability levels are welcome. This is an 8-week course.

Note on firing: All work will be fired and ready for pick up in the Kimball Art Center 7-14 days after your class. We do not ship class work. If artwork is not picked up after 60 days it will be recycled. *Since artwork may look different after firing, make your pottery or sculpture recognizable by carving a signature into your piece. 

The $50 material fee includes a bag of clay, with options including Rods Bod, Death Valley, and Stoney White. Porcelain is not included. Students wishing to use porcelain can get their material fee refunded and purchase porcelain separately at the front desk.
