Pottery Wheel Throwing Course: 3-week

This class is similar to our one day crash-course style class but in this pottery class, you will be meeting for three consecutive weeks and get to throw pots as in a one day class but the next two sessions you finish, decorate, fire, and glaze them. During the first class, you will learn wheel throwing basics of how to make simple forms on the pottery wheel. Then, your instructor will guide you as you try it yourself. You'll be able to try and try again until you get a piece that you like. In the second session you will have the opportunity to smooth and contour the work you created as well as add handles and carve into them, making these uniquely your own.On the last class, you will learn glazing which is how you decorate and add color to your pottery by painting on a liquid glass suspension. Various colors and surfaces are possible. We have both dipping as well as painting options. The works that you create will be ready to be picked up one week after the last class and are held for three weeks. Pick up is at our Zerimar Clay location. This class is great for those who want to experience clay and have their hand in every part of the process from start to finish, allowing the student to be exposed to all the stages of firing and finishing. You won’t become an expert but you will have experienced all the stages. If you're interested in learning a new and fun hobby, pottery will allow you to dig your hands into clay, unwind, and create unique handmade ceramic goods! Please note works must be picked up within three weeks from the last class. Finished pottery pieces. Read more details
