About this Event
  • Learn the basic concepts of the pottery wheel in this beginner-friendly class, designed to get you started and comfortable working with clay. In this hands-on session, you'll be introduced to wheel throwing, centering, coning and learning how to shape clay. No experience necessary – just bring your creativity and curiosity!


Attendees should arrive wearing clothes that are acceptable for getting dirty and possibly wet. Clay splashing from head to toe is possible, so please dress accordingly. Aprons (regular washable kitchen aprons) are helpful but not required. Hair longer than chin-length will need to be tied back for safety.


Additional Materials Needed: One 25-lb brick of cone 6 clay, Laguna 50. Cone 6 glazes are worth $50.


Open to ages 18 and up

Instructor: Danielle Kurani

Instructor Bio: Danielle is a passionate pottery artist and the shop manager of our new pottery studio. Although she’s been practicing pottery for nearly three years, her connection to the craft runs deep, inspired by her love for nature and the organic forms it offers. Danielle enjoys incorporating elements from the natural world—such as flowers, shells, seeds, and leaves—into her work, creating pieces that feel grounded and connected to the earth. She is excited to bring this studio to the makerspace, creating a welcoming environment for artists of all levels to explore their creativity. When she’s not managing the studio or crafting her latest ceramic pieces, Danielle spends time on the seacoast with her husband, three teenage boys, and two golden retrievers. With her enthusiasm and experience, Danielle is eager to help students discover the joy of pottery and build a strong sense of community within the studio.
