Service Description

Spend a fun night playing with clay! We will teach you the basics of throwing on the Wheel to make cups, bowls, vases, and more. This class will focus on using the throwing wheel to create functional ware. The goal of this class is to throw three vessels. At the end of the class we will arrange a second session for you to come back and trim your pieces (Ceramics: Glazing or Trimming). NOTE: you may take this class as many times as you would like. Each session we will continue to develop skills and techniques. It’s time to have fun getting down and dirty with some clay. Make sure you wear old clothes, close toe shoes and if you have long hair throw it up for the night. We have all been cooped up during these strange and stressful times.
