Wheel Thrown Pottery - Evening
Summer Class | Available
Come join this supportive, hands-on beginner to intermediate wheel class in a lively environment!
This class will include demonstrations of both simple forms (cylinders, cups and bowls) and more complex forms (vases, lidded pieces and more). All the fundamentals of throwing, shaping, trimming and glazing pots will be covered in this class. For students with intermediate throwing skills, we will focus on honing your throwing technique to produce pieces that are thrown, shaped and trimmed so they both look and feel good.
Schedule Notes:
There will be a substitute teacher Jessica Leis on Monday 8/3/2026.
