POTTER'S WHEEL - In class, our instructor teaches the steps for throwing on the wheel - throwing, centering, drilling down, and pulling up the walls. Once you've tried a one-time pottery class, consider taking a six-week course where you learn to wedge, trim and glaze your own work.
HANDBUILDING - Experience the flexibility of handbuilding through slab techniques in our BIG MUGS class on Sundays. Looking for more handbuilding classes? Sign up for one of our six-week handbuilding courses - Introduction to Sculpting with Coils or Slab, Pinch, Sculpt!.
