We’re excited to announce our next 3 Week Wheel Throwing Class!
Perfect for beginners and those looking to build on their skills, this hands-on class is a great introduction to the potter’s wheel in a relaxed, supportive studio environment. Whether you’re completely new to clay or returning to the wheel, you’ll have the opportunity to learn, practice, and create your own ceramic pieces.
Over the course of 3 weeks, students will learn the fundamentals of wheel throwing, including centering, shaping, trimming, and decorating.
