Thursdays, January 13 - March 17, 2022?(10 weeks)
9:30?am -?12:00 pm

Basic Wheel classes are for absolute beginners and those who want a refresher. Students will learn basic wheel skills while making lots of funny mistakes and big messes-there's no way around it. So come make bowls, cups, and vases, from start to finish, and don't forget to bring a sense of humor. It's just mud, which, through a bit of alchemy you will turn into something useful, cute, beautiful, or hilarious. So fun!

SUPPLIES?for this class can be purchased on the first day. Beginning students should buy the 630 White Stoneware, in whole or half bags. The price of the clay includes two firings for every piece you want to keep plus the use of our dipping glazes. It is our policy that all clay and any commercial glazes you wish to use be purchased from us so we can protect our kilns by controlling what is fired in them. Students trying clay for the first time may use our studio tools or buy the beginner kit. We have a great assortment of tools in our shop for sale, but you are welcome to bring any that you have.

• All students have a shelf for storing their supplies and projects.
• Registration includes Open Studio privileges.
• Each class will receive a group email before the class begins with details about what to wear, where to park, and the like.

Beginners and experienced throwers are welcome.
