ADULT CLASSES + WORKSHOPS
Intro to Wheel-Throwing
Third Saturday of Every Month | 10:00am - 1:30pm For adults interested in learning the art of wheel throwing, this workshop is the perfect introduction. Scheduled on the third Saturday of every month, the Adult Wheel Throwing workshop is designed for beginners or those with little to no experience with the potter’s wheel. Participants will be guided through the basics of wheel throwing, including center techniques, shaping forms, and trimming.
This workshop focuses on hands-on practice and individual attention, ensuring that each participant gets the opportunity to create a functional piece, such as a bowl, mug, or small vase. Instructors will be on hand to provide step-by-step guidance, help with troubleshooting, and demonstrate key techniques for success on the wheel.

Four Week Ceramics Class: Functional Vessels
October 5th, 12th, 26th & Nov 2nd | 6:00pm - 8:30pm This Fall-Themed Handbuilding class will teach students slab rolling, coil building, and attaching techniques. We will also learn how to apply underglaze and glaze using brushing techniques. The theme is broad, but some ideas of fall-themed pieces are candle holders, pumpkins/ jack-o-lanterns, leaf-shaped spoon holders, miniature fall scenes, and functional pieces like cups, mugs, plates and planters. The fall theme can be interpreted in any way students like; it can simply influence the colors students choose to use or students can go all out with a fall theme.
What you’ll Learn: This class will teach students how to make clay slabs using the slab roller or rolling pins, how to make clay coils, and how to build forms using slab or coil, and slipping and scoring methods. Students will also learn and practice kurinuki (or carving) techniques to build or alter forms, as well as glazing techniques including using and applying underglaze and glaze using brushing techniques. Feel free to bring any kind of fall inspiration to help you think of forms or colors to use for your pieces
