Introduction to the Pottery Wheel
$60 / Includes all materials
Skill Level: Beginner
Description: Remember those carefree days of your childhood making mud pies,
squishing mud through your fingers and creating your own wonderful
imaginary worlds? Let our master potter take you back to those
days in the mudhole the grown-up way, “throwing” vessels on the
pottery wheel. This is a special introductory class on the pottery
wheel for 2 1/2 hours that gives you the opportunity to decide
if a 6-week session is for you. You will learn how to “center”
your clay, open and create the initial base and wall, thinning
and shaping your wall. And then also, you will learn how to “trim”
your vessel for a finished pot. It is possible to be able to complete
2-3 small pots in this class, but that always depends on how well
you and the pottery wheel become friends. In approximately 1 week,
after your pots have dried and been bisque-fired, you can return
to paint your creations in our paint-your-own-pottery section.
Our motto is “if you can drive a car, you can learn how to throw
pottery.”So, come on, give it a try! You know you always wanted
to.
Sessions to choose from:
• Tuesday Evenings 6:00-8:30pm
• Wednesdays 12:30-3:00pm
And these select Sunday evenings 6:00-8:30pm:
August 21 / September 11 / September 25 / October 9
October 23 / November 6 / November 20 / December 4
January 8 / January 22 / February 5
Pre-registration is required. Call the studio at 817-731-9249
to register.
