What to Expect:

• Introduction to the Wheel: We’ll start with a demo to show you the process of centering clay, pulling walls, and shaping a basic vessel (usually a cup or bowl).
• Hands-On Practice: You’ll get your own wheel and clay to work with as the instructor guides you step-by-step. Expect some wobbly pots—it’s part of the process!
• Trimming & Finishing: The instructor will trim your pot once it is leather-hard, about 1-2 days later.
• Glazing: You have two options:
  • 1. Choose the color glaze you would like and the instructor will glaze it for you.
  • 2. Come back during open studio hours, and glaze your own creation for a small additional fee (registration is required)
• Take Home Your Work: Your creation will be fired in a kiln and ready for pickup in 3-4 weeks.
• What to bring: Coffee and tea will be provided, you are welcome to bring snacks. Please bring a towel and/or apron to help keep yourself clean, all other materials will be provided for you.
