This one-time class is for students with little to no clay experience who would like to learn the basics of wheel throwing for creating functional work such as mugs, vases, and bowls. The class will include demonstrations on how to prepare clay for the wheel (wedging and weighing), how to attach clay to the wheel head, center clay, open up the form, compress the base, pull the walls, collar the neck, finish the lip, and remove the piece from the wheel. Students will practice the concepts through their own hands-on activity at the wheel. Trimming instruction is not included in this class. All materials and tools are provided for you.

Cost: $60/per person

Please note: Single session classes are not meant to result in you bringing a finished ceramic piece home with you. All clay used during your session will be recycled. If you’d like to save your work and continue with it, subsequent sessions can be booked at a discounted rate.
