Pottery on the Wheel Monday Night: All Levels

Dates: Mondays, July 28th - September 1st, 2025

Time: 6 pm - 9 pm

Meet on Monday evenings 6 - 9 pm with expert instructor, Brian Smith, for six weeks of throwing on the potter's wheel! Choose two open studio times to practice (no instruction, however, there are studio assistants available for questions). This class is for all levels of potters, concentrating on throwing. Basics of throwing will be covered before moving on to throwing large pieces, making altered forms, and other ideas suggested by students.

One 25lb bag of stoneware clay is included as well as firings for pieces made from your first bag of clay (to be completed within two weeks of the end of class), studio glazes, and studio tools. Alternative clay, personal tool kits, and assorted glazes are available for purchase at All Hands Pottery Studio. Guidance for firing pieces will be provided – added dimensions of any one piece are not to exceed 24” to conserve and maximize kiln space (example: height 4”, width 8”, length 12” = 24”). Additional pieces may be fired at a fee. Open Studio passes must be used within two weeks of the end of classes.

A little about Brian Smith: "I started throwing at a young age and learned from many different talented artists over the years. I enjoy experimenting with different techniques and a variety of media. Many of my pieces are inspired by glass blowing and woodworking. I'm excited to answer any questions and share my techniques in this course."
