About this Event
In this 8-week beginning wheel class, you’ll get hands-on instruction and individual
practice time at the wheel, with experienced potter Sara Ballek. Through group demos
and individualized support, Sara will be there to guide you and answer questions along
the way. Throughout this 8-week class, you'll learn the basics of wheel-thrown pottery
from start to finish. Everything from centering clay on the wheel, creating simple,
utilitarian forms, to trimming and glazing work you make. Students will take a ball of clay
to completion, by creating functional, food safe, pottery that can be used at home. You
will learn how to make cups, bowls, mugs and handles, and more!
No prior experience with clay is needed for this class—just bring your curiosity and be
ready to get your hands dirty and have fun! Wear clothes you don't mind getting clay on
(it will wash out!) and closed-toed shoes. For wheel work, skip jewelry, roll up your
sleeves, tie long hair back, and keep nails trimmed for the best experience. Clay and all
tools needed for the class are provided by Paducah School of Art and Design.
