Come take a spin on the wheel!​

 

4 Week Mini Course Outline:​

​

Week 1 & 2: Introduction to Wheel Throwing!

It’s so exciting to throw a pot on the wheel, so let’s get dirty! Your instructor will teach you the basic steps and techniques for throwing. At the end of the class, pick your favourite 2 pieces to keep!​

​

Week 3: Trimming and Hand Building. Trim your pieces from week 1 & 2. If there's time after trimming, and learn about pinch-pots, slabs, coils and joining clay pieces.  Everything needs to be finished and ready to go into the kiln for a first firing by the end of class 3.

​

Week 4: Glazing

Pieces will be painted and decorated with glaze. Students can make them as bright and colourful as they want! They will be food safe when finished.

​

Pieces will go back into the kiln for a second firing and will be ready for pick up in a couple of weeks!​​
