About the event

6-Week Wheel Class - First Day!
Have you always wanted to learn how to create your own pottery on the wheel? Come join us!

Throughout this course, you'll learn the fundamentals of a pottery wheel practice, including:
- Centering & throwing on the pottery wheel
- Trimming & adding handles
- Recycling your clay
- Surface decoration & glazing techniques

Already have some wheel experience? We’re happy to help you design a personalized plan for your 6-week session to challenge your skills — think tall vases, lidded jars, altered forms, and more. Let’s make this your most creative session yet!

By the end of the session, you'll have a great understanding of how to create pieces in your own style and feel confident to start creating on your own during walk-in hours, as a Clayworks member in our studio, or at home with your own equipment.

First Class Session: Monday, September 22
Final Class Session: Monday, October 27
Weekly Session Info: Mondays, 6:00PM-8:00PM
All wet-clay work will be completed by Sunday, November 2.

Glazing will likely be completed at a later date, during open studio hours (included).

You don’t need to bring anything to class - access to all materials, tools, and equipment is provided as part of your $380 registration. This includes:
- 2 hours/week of class time (instruction, demonstrations, feedback)
- Studio access for the duration of the session - access during building hours of 9am-9pm lets you come in to practice on your schedule.
- Lots of clay for practice
- Glazing & firing for up to 6 projects
- Access to studio equipment and studio tools for class
Like more than 6 of your creations? Keep additional pieces for $15/piece

We have a fun and laid-back atmosphere, while also providing a ton of great information and experience. We learn from each other! Our clay class sizes for the pottery wheel are never more than 8 people, so it's easy to get lots of feedback and help.

This class is geared towards adult students. Younger students will have a more difficult time, but we can accommodate interested & motivated teens.

Individuals are encouraged to let us know if you prefer a private 6-week session, which can be scheduled for groups of 5-8. Contact us directly at bWVsaXNzYSB8IGhvdHBsYXRlcG90dGVyeSAhIGNvbQ== with your preferred day/time and we will get back to you.
