***This class will skip the week of Thanksgiving***

Intro and Intermediate Wheel throwing

All levels of clay experience are welcome!

Have you ever wanted to try making pottery? Has it been a while since you’ve thrown on the wheel and you want to refresh your throwing skills? This class is for you!

Students will meet for 2.5 hrs, 10am - 12:30pm, once a week for six weeks. You will be able to progress at your own speed and instruction will be catered to your particular skill level.

The class must have 6 people to run.

This class series will take you through the various stages of wheel throwing such as, wedging, centering and the actual shaping of a piece, trimming and glazing. The first 2 classes will be heavy in throwing instruction. Around the third or fourth class most students feel comfortable exploring the wheel with little instruction. The last 2 classes will focus on decoration and glazing. 25lbs of clay will be provided.

Be sure to wear old clothes or bring a apron and towel. Basic beginner pottery tools can be purchased here for $15. If you have any questions about the class, please email Delores at delorespotterystudios@gmail.com

Students must be 18 years or older. Some exceptions can be made. Contact Delores with requests.

COVID INFORMATION Everyone will have to sign a Covid-19 waiver and must be vaccinated. Since many surfaces are shared in a pottery studio, everyone must understand they are taking a risk by participating in classes. Shared wheels, tables and tools will be sanitized after each use. Everyone is encouraged to bring their own pottery tools and towels. Community tools and towels may be available but you must use them at your own risk.
