In order to prep supplies, PLEASE NO “SAME DAY” REGISTRATIONS! Same day registrations will automatically be moved to the next scheduled class date.
Do I need to have any experience?
Not at all. During the class, you'll receive personalized instruction tailored to your skill level. Students will be taught fundamental techniques such as centering, pulling, and shaping clay to create your own functional pieces or artistic sculptures. If you've never touched clay before in your life, when you sign up for any of our classes, you’ll learn the basic techniques with the simple joy of building something with your own two hands. Our one-time pottery wheel session “Throw & Go” is perfect for beginners to learn the basics of throwing on the wheel. To take your skills to the next level, consider our “Intro to Pottery Wheel Workshop”. All tools and supplies are provided.
