Class Description

Description

This one-time pottery workshop provides an excellent introduction for first-time potters and an enjoyable refresher for returning participants. During this session, students will learn the fundamental techniques of throwing clay on the pottery wheel and create their own unique piece under the careful guidance of our experienced instructors. This is a relaxing and rewarding opportunity to disconnect from daily routines, get your hands muddy, and explore your creative abilities.

At the end of the workshop, students will select from a curated selection of glazes, and our skilled team will complete the finishing process. For your convenience and peace of mind, your finished masterpiece will be professionally shipped to your address three weeks following the class date, with no additional shipping charges incurred and no pickup required on your part.

This workshop is designed for all skill levels and experience ranges; no previous pottery experience is necessary to participate and enjoy the experience.

All materials required for the workshop, including clay and tools, are provided as part of your registration.

  • Beginner Wheel Throwing

    Auzzie is a fantastic teacher, she made the steps very clear and made us all feel successful with our pots. Fun!
  • Beginner Wheel Throwing

    This class and the studio were great. The instructor, Becca, is incredible. She is a skilled ceramicist and instructor. Instruction was well paced and everyone in the class seemed to be having fun, even my husband whom I dragged to take a class with me! This is the second class I’ve taken at Element Art Center (the other was stained glass) and I’d take a class again. Talented instructors in a fun and safe space.

    As someone who has never done pottery before, I found the class to be extremely beginner friendly and supportive. My instructor was able to provide me with 1-on-1 support as needed. I would totally go back and do this again!

    I love my first class! Em was so sweet and had so much patience for all the students. She made sure to have a long one time with us to make sure we got what we needed! Gave us tips and all! Highly recommend this class! Can’t wait to come back and learn more.

    Chloe was great. Her directions were simple and clear. It was a small class and she gave each individualized attention. Will look at other classes that are offered.
  • Beginner Wheel Throwing

    It was a lovely class with a patient instructor. It was only my friend and I in the class which was nice since it allowed the instructor to focus on us. I learned a lot and can’t wait to book another class
  • Beginner Wheel Throwing

    This class was perfect! The teacher was great about explaining every step as well as helping everyone to get their pieces to look amazing!
  • Beginner Wheel Throwing

    This class was really fun. Chloe, our instructor, was so kind and extremely supportive. She is an excellent instructor. Everything was kept running on time, everyone had a complete project and time to choose their glaze. She broke down the process and helped us all feel confident using the wheel and sculpting our items. She learned and remembered everyone’s names as well which was so impressive! I would definitely recommend taking other classes with her at the Elementary Art Center.
