Beginner Wheel Throwing
Winter Class | Registration opens Wednesday, November 5, 2025 12:01 AM EDT
Come learn how fun working with clay can be in a small, supportive, hands-on environment. In this class you will learn the basics of throwing, trimming and glazing pots. While learning these fundamentals, we will work towards making pieces that not only look good but feel good. Students with basic wheel skills are also welcome.
