About this Event

In this beginner-friendly class, students will embark on a hands-on journey through the fundamentals of pottery. We’ll start by getting acquainted with the touch and feel of clay—learning how to determine if it's moist enough, too dry, or contains air bubbles. Next, we’ll master the essential skill of centering the clay on the wheel head, a foundational technique for successful throwing.

Students will then dive into the basics of throwing, starting with the creation of a cylinder, the building block for most pottery forms. As the course progresses, you’ll gain an understanding of proper kiln loading techniques and learn how to fire your pieces to bisque temperature.

To finish, we’ll explore glazing techniques, allowing you to add color and personality to your creations. Finally, you’ll have the opportunity to load and fire your glazed pots, observing the entire process, including setting up the computer-operated kiln.

This class is an 2 day intensive. Each class is 8 hours long, starting at 9am, for both days. There will be a lunch break included, please bring lunch with you. We have a microwave and a fridge available.

Dates for available sessions are as follows:

October 19th start date: Oct 19th & 20th

October 26th start date: Oct 26th & 27th

November 16th start date: Nov 16th & 17th
