Four weeks. More wheel time. No experience required.
Whether you’ve already taken a Try-It or you’re jumping straight into pottery, this four-week class gives you the time and instruction to actually start learning the wheel.
We’ll work through the foundations step by step—centering, opening, pulling walls, shaping, trimming, and finishing—while giving you plenty of time to practice instead of rushing toward a perfect pot.
And because September gets a little chaotic around here during The Big E, we’re extending each class to 2½ hours. That extra half hour is built into your class time to help make up for practice time that may be harder to fit in during the fair.
