All skill levels welcome! Learn the tricks of success for making clay objects on the wheel. If you have never thrown before this is the best class for starting to figure out the basics of the potter’s wheel. Students are also welcome to practice their skills for improvement. We will start with cups and bowls for students to gain confidence on the wheel. As students advance, they are welcome to create their own sculptural wheel thrown designs. Due to drying and firing times, pottery will be ready for pick up 10-12 days after class has ended.
