Intro to Wheel 1 - 6 weeks
Have you always wanted to learn to throw on the potter’s wheel? This class requires no previous throwing experience. It is taught in a small setting with plenty of one on one instruction time. Your class fee includes all instruction, use of equipment, clay, tools, glaze, and all firing costs.
We recommend taking Intro to Wheel Throwing 2–3 times before moving up to Wheel 2 or beyond. If you’re unsure where you belong next, talk to our team and we’ll guide you to the best class fit.
