All Levels Wheel Throwing (Tuesdays, Sep 8 - Oct 13) - Fall #1 2026

With a main focus on functional pottery, beginner students will learn how to use the equipment in the studio and how to use the wheel while more advanced students will further use the wheel as a tool to create work made partially or entirely from thrown forms.  All students will be encouraged to experiment with surface and altering techniques to transform their work from pots to functional works of art.  

Students will leave the class with finished work they can use at home that's dishwasher safe!
