Beginner to advanced, come out and get your hands in the mud and optionally bring adult beverages (wine or beer). This makes a great date night event or fun time out with friends, as well as a great way to meet new friends.
Beginners will learn the basics of working with clay on the wheel and the proper techniques and methods of keeping the clay piece centered and balanced as well as how to pull the clay up into a cylinder or bowl shape. No experience needed and you will be amazed at what you can learn during this class. Beginner wheel throwing class is an excellent pre-requisite to our advanced wheel classes.
Those with experience will learn advanced techniques and work on enhancing your skills.
Take several classes to advance skills or join our six pack series.
You may create as many pieces as desired in the time of the class (most adults create two to three pieces per class), and any pieces you choose to keep will then be fired and ready for you to glaze with ceramic paints in the design and colors of your choice. Pieces need to dry completely before firing and can take up to two weeks, but are usually ready within 10 days. We contact you when pieces are ready to paint and you may come in any time during business hours for the glazing process with no reservation required. Finished pieces are $18 each (1.5 pounds of clay), and this price includes the clay, the trimming service, kiln firing, paint glazes and other supplies for the painting process, and the final glaze firing.
*This is a class for adults only. Beer and wine can be brought in if desired and this makes a great date night or night out with friends.
