Wheel Thrown Pottery
Fall Class | Registration opens Wednesday, August 5, 2026 6:00 AM EDT
If you are new to the potter’s wheel, this is a good place to start. Learn the techniques of making and glazing bowls, cups, vases and plates. You can work on sets of pieces – united by size, shape and/or color. Or bring in your own project. Elements of design and function are emphasized and lots of student interaction enlivens the class.
Clay is not included in lab fee. Clay is to be purchased through the office. Purchase can be made via email, by phone and/or in person during office hours. Please note specific clay body when placing order. Porcelain clay bodies (257 and 437) are priced at $60 per unit. Non-porcelain clay bodies are priced at $35 per unit. Purchase in advance of class and present receipt to instructor before collecting clay.
Please note: Students who wish to fire work in the soda kiln and are currently registered in a class that is not soda kiln specific can do so for an additional $25 fee/semester. Only available to students who have previously taken a soda specific class or workshop at CAC.
Students should bring a notebook, a 2 – 2 ½ gallon bucket with lid, an old towel, and some basic clay tools (which can be purchased at CAC).
