About this Event

10-Week Advanced Wheel Pottery Class at Erie ClaySpace

Thursdays | October 2nd – December 11th | 6:00–8:30 PM

Instructor: Mel El-Farouki




PLEASE NOTE: Class will not meet on Thanksgiving Thursday, 11/27. Classes will resume the following Thursday, December 4th.


Overview:

Ready to level up your wheel game? 🎉 This 10-week class is for makers who’ve already tackled the basics at ECS (or elsewhere) and are hungry for more mud-slinging adventures. We’ll dig into taller forms, lidded jars, matching sets, and even a few wild curveballs to stretch your skills and creativity. Think more time at the wheel, more chances to experiment, and plenty of space to refine your style. By the end, you’ll have a lineup of pieces that not only show off your growth—but also make you proud to say, yep, I made that.




Where: Erie ClaySpace, 1505 State ST, 3rd Floor of the PACA building, Erie, PA 16501.

Studio Access:

Call (814) 520-5089 when you arrive to be buzzed in. Need the elevator? Let your instructor know when you call—the lift is vintage and manually operated, and we’ll be happy to assist.
