Get centered. Find your rhythm. Learn to throw.
Have you ever watched a potter transform a lump of clay into a beautiful bowl or vessel and wondered if you could do it, too? This six-week wheel throwing intensive gives you the opportunity to find out.
Designed for beginners and developing potters, this hands-on series introduces you to the fundamentals of working on the pottery wheel. You'll learn how to prepare and center clay, open and pull up the walls of a vessel, shape forms, and develop greater control over the wheel. As the weeks progress, you'll build on your skills, practice troubleshooting common challenges, and explore how small changes in technique can transform your results.
Pottery takes patience, practice, and a willingness to embrace the occasional wobble. Rather than expecting perfection right away, this intensive focuses on building confidence, developing muscle memory, and discovering the satisfaction of making something with your own hands.
With a small-group learning environment, you'll have opportunities for individual guidance, repeated practice, and plenty of time to learn from both successes and happy accidents.
Six weeks. One wheel. A whole new way to make.
No previous wheel throwing experience is necessary. Class schedule, materials, firing, and finished-piece arrangements will be outlined in the first class.
13 and older recommended.
