# Event Details - **Event Name**: 4-Week Intro Evening Pottery Class! (Wheel Throwing) January 6th - 27th - **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 06 Jan, 2026 at 06:30 pm – Tue, 06 Jan, 2026 at 09:00 pm - **Event Description**: Replace doom scrolling with mindful throwing! Learn the basics of wheel-thrown pottery this fall in a safe and encouraging environment :)About this EventOur beginner's pottery class is specially designed to teach you the basics of wheel throwing. We will cover proper posture, breathing techniques, motor functions, form, and - of course - how to make safe functional pieces (mugs, cups, bowls, plates, etc)! Our goal in this class is to give you the best possible clay education while keeping the vibe and atmosphere fun and inviting. Specifically, you'll learn centering via coning up and down, opening the form, pulling the walls of the clay pot, trimming your pots (carving and finishing the bottoms), and finally glazing them (the top coat). This 4-week course will meet every Tuesday evening beginning January 6th from 6:30 pm - 9 pm, with the final class being held on January 27th. There is one make-up session per person per class if you are sick or life gets in the way. Please email us if you need to reschedule, and we will coordinate with you! :)Check out the agenda section next for a breakdown of what we have planned for each week. Additionally, we have 1-day pottery workshops and a sculpture class this fall! All winter listings are live now through the end of 2025! Visit our events page for a full list of happenings :)All classes and workshops are open to anyone over the age of 10 years old (unless otherwise stated), and any person under the age of 13 must be accompanied by an adult at all times.Note: Shahane will be the instructor! She has taught pottery since 2016, got her BFA in ceramic arts in 2015 with a double minor in art history and psychology, and owns Pudgy's Place with her husband Phillip :)Address: Pudgy's Place, 119R Foster St. Bldg. 13 Unit 1E, Peabody MA, 01960Agenda?: 06:30 PM - 09:00 PMJanuary 6thInfo: Week 1: We jump right in! First, you'll learn how to cut, weigh, and wedge the clay. Next, you'll be guided through posture, breathing techniques, and operating your wheel. The exciting part - we throw! You'll be taught how to center the clay by coming up and down, opening the form's interior shape, and pulling the walls of the pot. The goal today is to understand this new world - not to make a finished piece :) - though props if you do!?: 06:30 PM - 09:00 PMJanuary 13thInfo: Week 2: A recap of the first lesson and practice centering and throwing a bowl, cup, and plate. There is a heavy emphasis on posture, breathwork, and centering today. Ideally, by the end of this class, you would have crafted a couple of pieces. ?: 06:30 PM - 09:00 PMJanuary 20thInfo: Week 3: Trimming! When pieces are made on the potter's wheel, they need time to slowly dry to a halfway state called "leather-hard" before being trimmed. Once the pieces are dry enough to handle, they're flipped upside down, placed back on the wheel, and cleaned up on the bottom, officially finishing the basic form. Beginner alterations and attachments will be introduced today (handled and small details). Once dry, the pieces will be bisque-fired in the kiln for next week's final lesson - glazing!?: 06:30 PM - 09:00 PMJanuary 27thInfo: Week 4: The final day of this session - glaze, glaze, glaze it all! We will go over the basics of glazing and some cool alterations and tricks. *NOTE: None of our glazes has toxic or dangerous minerals. If you'd like to continue taking classes, we encourage you to visit our events page or website to see our current offerings! If you'd like to continue independently, join our multimedia studio, Pudgy's Place, as a member! :) *Pieces glazed today will have to be picked up the following week, or can be shipped to you for an additional fee. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/peabody/4-week-intro-evening-pottery-class-wheel-throwing-january-6th-27th/100001977570149552 - **Event Categories**: workshops, art - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 215.26, max: 215.26, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Peabody - **state**: MA - **country**: United States - **location**: Pudgy’s Place - **lat**: 42.5217253 - **long**: -70.9334799 - **full address**: Pudgy’s Place, 119R Foster Street, Peabody, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: 4-Week Intro Evening Pottery Class!
