You’ll learn the entire process, starting with the basics of working with clay, including centering and throwing on the pottery wheel and hand-building. From there, we’ll cover drying, trimming, bisque firing, and the final step of glazing your pieces – ensuring a well-rounded understanding of the craft. 💡 Why Small Classes Matter: Classes are kept small (maximum 13 students) to ensure you receive personalized attention and hands-on guidance. Whether you’re a first-time thrower or have previous experience, you’ll receive the support needed to develop your skills at your own pace. We limit to 4 pieces kept due to the size of our space. ⏰ Open Studio: Limited instruction available during open studio. Each student will be responsible for wedging their own clay and will be given an allotted amount. January 20th and 27th from 10am to 6pm.
