For just $45. cash,   you can get dirty with your friends with our  " TRY IT CLASS".  This is a one time,  1  3/4  hour workshop & is exactly what it says. You'll get a quick intro to wheel throwing then you try it.  All materials, supplies, & 1 brick of clay included. Though usually not needed, additional clay available for purchase. If you are considering signing up for a  4 or 5-week Pottery Wheel & Hand-building class it will give you a head start before you commit. All ages welcome. Aprons are available, but  we recommend wearing clothes you don't mind getting dirty.

REGISTRATION REQUIRED, NO WALK INS.

***** Since the purpose of this class is to give students a chance to experience throwing on the wheel our expectation is that  ALL pieces created during class will be deconstructed at end of evening & clay recycled.  If you are particularly pleased with your piece & instructor feels its structurally sound & likely to fire successfully you may opt to have piece trimmed, & fired by teacher for an additional fee depending on size.
