Our New Home!!!

We are happy to announce our move to a new location!!! This session (Session 6) Marks the beginning of a new chapter for us!

This move comes with many changes and updates. Prices for all classes will increase to combat the rising rent price and costs of goods. This new building will provide a much more comfortable experience for our students and renters. Those who have been with us for a while know our battle with the kilns and our HVAC. This issue is now a thing of the past! The kilns will now have their own room and we regret to inform you that we will no longer offer a free sauna with our classes! 😁

We look forward to growing in this new space and offering more pottery adventures.

Intro & Intermediate Wheel Throwing: Build Your Skills at the Wheel

Whether you're brand new to the pottery wheel or looking to refine your technique, this class offers a supportive and hands-on environment for developing your throwing skills.

• Basic glaze application and studio etiquette

Intermediate Students Will Explore:

• Refining technique for consistency and control
• Creating more complex forms: mugs, vases, lidded containers, and altered shapes
• Attaching handles, experimenting with surface design, and improving glazing outcomes

Ideal For:

• First-time throwers eager to learn the wheel
• Returning students ready to challenge themselves and expand their skills
• Makers who appreciate both guidance and creative freedom

Includes:

Students will meet for 2.5 hrs, 6:30pm- 9pm, 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.

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 infodelorespottery@gmail.com

We do not offer personal make up days since all of our classes are full.Typically instructors repeat lessons so if you miss one week you'll have the demo next time. We also offer open studio, access to the studio on the weekends and some weekday options for students to come in and practice.
