This 4 week class is designed to give students aged 12-adult comprehensive instruction on how to make an optional themed project on the pottery wheel. Throwing on the pottery wheel is a skill that takes lots of practice to develop! We have designed the 4-week class to be repeated, allowing students to grow their throwing, trimming, and glazing skills at their own pace. We will modify the project based on each student's ability level.
