About this Event
Whether you’re completely new to pottery or looking to reconnect with your creativity, this welcoming two-part experience is a great place to start. With guided instruction and plenty of hands-on practice, you’ll learn the fundamentals of wheel throwing, then return to add your own creative touches through glazing.
With only four spaces available, the small-group setting allows for personalized guidance while still giving you room to experiment and find your own creative style. No experience necessary. All materials, instruction, glazing and firing are included. Please note that finished pottery will be ready for collection after Christmas.
Schedule
Part One: November 20 | 6:00–8:30 PM
Spend 2.5 hours learning the fundamentals of throwing on the pottery wheel. Explore centering, shaping and creating your own handmade pottery. At the end of the evening, you’ll select two of your favourite pieces to be trimmed and prepared for firing.
Part Two: December 11 | 6:00–7:30 PM
Return to the studio to glaze your creations. Explore colours and finishes as you add the final touches to your two handmade pieces.
Your handmade pottery will be ready for collection after Christmas.
