- **Event Name**: Wheel Throwing for Beginners – with Cath Smith 3-5 PM Sundays - Jan 18-Feb 22
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 01 Feb, 2026 at 05:00 pm – Sun, 01 Feb, 2026 at 08:00 pm
- **Event Description**: If you’ve ever wanted to try wheel throwing but felt a bit intimidated, this is the class for you. We keep things small, relaxed, and genuinely supportive — no pressure, no rushing, just you, the wheel, and some very forgiving clay.

Over six weeks, each session gently builds your skills. You’ll learn the whole process step by step: how to prepare your clay so it behaves, how to center and shape your first forms, what the different drying stages mean (and how not to panic when things wobble), how to trim with confidence, and how glazing brings everything to life.

With a maximum of three students per class, you can bring a friend or family member to learn alongside you, or just enjoy the calm, personal attention without that ‘everyone is staring at my wobbly pot’ feeling.  

What we’ll cover:

Preparing clay so it works with you
Centering and shaping your first bowls and cylinders
Understanding drying stages and successful trimming
Reclaiming clay and working smoothly in a shared studio
Glazing basics and the final firing process
This course is perfect for complete beginners or anyone returning to the wheel who wants gentle guidance and clear instruction. All materials and firing are included.

By the end, you’ll have several finished pieces — and, more importantly, the confidence to keep going on your pottery journey.
Fee: $225.00
