6 week Pottery Classes

All sessions are once per week and are 6 weeks long.
Max 8 per class $350.00 + tax ($395.50 total)

Our classes accomodate very beginner up to advanced. Our teachers Chris and Amanda are very skilled at managing the needs and goals of all levels during class.

Wheel throwing classes cover the basics of wheel throwing, starting with wedging clay, centering, opening, pulling up, trimming, and eventually decorating and glazing pots. Students can expect to take home around 5-10 finished pots as beginners or more if you’re more experienced. If you have taken classes before our instructor is fabulous at intermediate and advanced skills too!

All materials such as clay, glazes and firings are all included for the duration of the 6 week class. Clay is provided as unlimited while in class only.

Clay is messy and can stain so please wear old clothes and please bring a towel and apron (or a fabulous denim one can be purchased at the studio for $25.00)
