Go beyond the basics of our popular one-night workshop with this four-week wheel throwing class that will take you through all the stages of creating and finishing a bowl. After throwing a bowl to your desired shape on the wheel, you will learn how to trim your bowl and explore basic decorative techniques in preparation for glazing and final firing. This short course offers a gentle introduction to pottery for beginners, as well as those who wish to refine their skills with instructor guidance.
