Throw, Trim, Glaze! Our 3-week wheel class is ideal for beginners and anyone looking for more clay time without the full 5-week commitment.
- This class is designed for all skill levels, including complete beginners. Guidance will be tailored to meet you where you're at, whether this is your first time touching clay or you already have some experience.
CLASS DATES:
- Saturday June 13-July 4: 10am-1pm with Hannah
What to Expect:
Week 1: Intro & Throwing
Meet your instructor, review class policies, watch a demo and learn the basics, then jump right on the wheel! Time to get muddy and start throwing. We allot 30 minutes at the end of each class for clean-up.
Week 2: Demo + Trimming
Trimming is the process of refining your leather-hard pieces. We’ll show you how to shape, smooth, and add finishing touches to your pieces using professional tools.
Week Off
Rest those hands! Your work will be dried and bisque-fired by our staff.
Week 3: Glazing
The fun part! Choose from our in-house glazes and experiment with colour and design.
Want extra practice? Check out our Open Studio options to keep throwing between classes. Students get 50% off Open Studio 10 packs!
