ADULT POTTERY CLASSES

WHEEL

Those with wheel experience are welcome and can work more independently with assistance from the instructor as needed. No experience necessary.

WHEEL
(Intermediate & Up)
Students who are comfortable with the basics of the wheel such as centering, pulling, shaping and trimming will learn to hone in on these skills and take their pottery-making journey to the next level. Throwing with larger pieces of clay, making lidded vessels, and perfecting the handle are a few skills that we will explore in this Intermediate class. Beginner Wheel experience necessary.
Wed 6-8pm
HAND-BUILDING & WHEEL COMBO
(Beginner & Up)
Students will get an overall experience with clay as they learn to make pottery at a table using hand-building methods as well as sitting at a wheel throwing pottery, and can learn how to combine these methods to make decorative & functional wares. If a student prefers one method over the other, they are welcome to focus on either after learning the techniques of both. Hand-Building consists of the slab, coil and pinch methods while wheel-throwing consists of centering, pulling and shaping clay as it spins on a pottery wheel. No experience necessary.
