Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this pottery wheel class:

Wheel Throwing 101 is our beginner one time wheel throwing class, no experience is required. In this class students are to learn the basics of wheel throwing including centering, pulling the walls, and moral support to make a functional piece.

All materials and equipment are included with this class.

Where does my piece go after class?

  • After class your creations are to dry for a few days followed by being placed in the kiln for the first of two firings. Once the clay is dry enough it is placed in the kiln for 48 hours, unloaded, glazed, and reloaded into the kiln where it will fully vitrify at 2167°F (Yes, that’s hotter than lava!). Once the kiln cools your piece is unloaded, packaged, and ready for pick up. If you do decide to make a functional piece please note that all of our glazes and clay bodies are food safe.

Gratuity is included for all teachers

What should I wear to class?

  • Although messy, the clay used in class will not stain your clothing. However we do recommend wearing comfortable apparel.

Should I bring anything?

  • Just yourself. All materials and tools are included.

Refund Policy

Please notify us 40 hours in advance so we can coordinate with our teacher to account for material prep time or if there is a waitlist.

In any event where a customer wants to cancel their enrollment and is eligible for a full refund, a 5% processing fee will be deducted from the refund amount.

    Michael curated a wonderful experience. He gave us the resources, class breakdown, a demo, and helped all of us every step of the way. Michael was incredibly patient and I never felt rushed in the 2 hours. I really appreciate that he helped me get my piece to look how I envisioned, and also kindly explained what to expect when working with clay. I’m excited to see it finished and look forward to another class!
