About this Event
Ready to go beyond the single class? Our 4-Week Wheel Throwing Course is designed for beginners seeking a hands-on, creative outlet to unwind and explore their artistic side. Across four weeks, you'll build on the fundamentals of centering, opening, and pulling - and move into trimming and glazing, giving you the full journey from raw clay to finished piece that simply isn't possible in a single 3-hour session.
While the single class gives you a first taste of the wheel, this course gives you the time, repetition, and guidance to actually develop and finish a piece entirely by your own hand - from throwing to glazing.
Learn essential techniques in a friendly, small-group setting, perfect for stress relief and self-expression.
What You Can Make (vs. the Taster):
In the single class, students complete 1 simple thrown piece, like a small bowl or cup. Over 4 weeks, you'll have the time to plan, refine, and take a piece through the entire process, including:
- Bowls and plates with cleaner, more refined forms
- Mugs and cups with pulled handles
- Vases with more interesting shapes
- Trimmed, finished footrings and bases
- A piece fully glazed by you, start to finish
