Details: 6-week Beginner Wheel Class, all inclusive (use of studio tools, clay, firing, glazing & some additional open studio time*) New Students: $350, Returning Students: $325
These classes will be the same day/time every week for six weeks and Mondays are open studio time* (from 12pm to 8pm) for anyone enrolled in a class. Classes are kept small so space is limited!
Currently, classes for beginner wheel throwing are being offered on:
- Saturdays 10am-1pm (next session starts in January)
- Thursday afternoon 12-3pm (next session starts in January)
- Thursday evening 6-9pm (next session starts in January)
This class is for BEGINNERS (those with little or no experience, or those re-learning the wheel after an extended absence from throwing). No production work or experienced potters will be allowed in this class.
*Open studio (on Mondays) is for PRACTICE only. This is not time for additional instruction or to produce new pieces. This time is for practicing the techniques that you learned in class or finish pieces that you made in class, but you will not be allowed to keep anything new produced during Open Studio.
**If classes are full or not on the website, please email us if you'd like to be on a waitlist for an upcoming class (we always offer seats to our waitlist before posting them online)

Students may register for just one week to learn basic wheel throwing, or up to THREE weeks for a more immersive and complete clay experience! LIMITED SEATING: ONLY 8 SPOTS PER CAMP!
- Registration for ONE week will be structured to concentrate on wheel throwing, but students will also learn about the process of pottery, right through to the firing, and have a light introduction to "hand-building."
- Registration for TWO weeks will give the student the ability to build on their skills for wheel throwing, as well as provide them the opportunity to do additional "hand-building" projects with clay.
- Registration for THREE weeks will offer the student additional opportunities to build upon their wheel-throwing skillset, create hand-building projects, AND glaze their own pieces!
