SUMMER CERAMICS CLASSES
Wheel Throwing Classes
Beginner Summer daytime series: 6 weeks, 10-12:30 on Tuesdays starting June 10th
with Courtney Jarvis
$285
Basic wheel classes are for learning the process of throwing pots on an electric wheel. From wedging clay, centering, pulling walls, shaping, trimming, to decorating and glazing, you will gradually develop the skills you need to make food-safe pottery you can use.
Price includes first 25lb. bag of clay, glazes, use of basic tools and firing. Additional clay can be purchased.
Classes are small and each student will get plenty of personal attention.

Next 8-week sessions taught by Judd will start in mid-September!
To protect our kiln, clay must be from our shop. We have our own studio glazes for you to use. We do not allow any other glazes or underglazes on pots we are to fire for you. You are welcome to bring your own tools, but beginner tools will be provided.

Sign up for a Try-It class and see what it’s all about…
“Judd and Cary enthusiastically embrace learners! I had never thrown before and learned so much in one session. Much laughter, learning, openness, and progress. Also, the setting is, in itself, a joy to experience, and Judd and Cary make all feel welcome.”
These sessions will give you a taste of what it’s like to throw on the wheel to help you decide if you may enjoy an 8-week class where you really get to dive in.
Next Try-it class is Sunday, June 22nd, from 3-5PM. Click the button below to register! (advance registration is required)
