Beginning Wheel Throwing will get you started on the wheel. You will learn all the basics, from throwing to glazing!
About this Event

This course is a deep dive into wheel throwing, perfect for the total beginner or anyone looking for a refresher! Students will learn how to throw cylinders, bowls, and plates, trim their wares on the wheel, and sample a variety of handle styles and surface decoration to create their very own functional pottery. By the end of this course, students will be confident in navigating the Alchemy ceramics studio and can continue their pottery journey through membership or another class.

Included in the class is access to our Wednesday open studios (5-7pm) during the course, and one bonus open studio to finish up any glazing after all of the work has been bisque fired. All clay and glaze used during class is included- additional clay is available for purchase for creating new work during open studios.

This class is taught by local potter and glass artist Craig Britton, one half of the very talented team at . Craig is a patient and supportive teacher, and is excited to share his love and excitement for pottery with you!

This class is held in the ceramics studio on the AAC campus. Directions and parking information will be included in your confirmation email.

Class Dates: Mondays in January from 6-9pm, 1/6, 1/13, 1/20, and 1/27

Registration: Please register early if you are able, as it helps us to assure that classes meet their minimums in order to run! If you register more than three weeks before this class begins, a 20% early bird discount will automatically be applied to your ticket at checkout.

A Note on Ticket Pricing: We are experimenting with offering sliding scale tickets in order to keep our classes accessible to as many community members as possible. There are three price tiers. Sustaining tickets help us continue to invest in programming. Full price tickets cover the costs associated with running classes. Accessibility tickets are priced below what it costs for us to run a class. If the cost of a full price ticket is a hardship, we encourage you to purchase a sliding scale ticket. If you can pay the full price or sustaining price, please choose that option so we can keep providing arts programming to the community.

Tuition Assistance: Tuition assistance is available for Alchemy classes and workshops if finances are a barrier. Apply for tuition assistance here.
