Get Creative on the Pottery Wheel!
Have you ever wanted to try making pottery on the wheel? This fun, beginner-friendly 4-week class is a great way for ages 9-14 to learn the basics of wheel throwing in a small, supportive group.
Students will learn how to:
Center clay on the pottery wheel
Use basic wheel-throwing techniques
Create simple cups, bowls, and other functional pieces
Trim and finish their pottery

No pottery experience is needed! Students will receive plenty of individual instruction and encouragement as they learn, experiment, and create their own unique pieces.

Clothes that can get messy
Closed-toe shoes are recommended
Small class sizes mean lots of personalized instruction and a welcoming studio experience. Perfect for young artists who are new to the pottery wheel!
