Learn the basics of wheel throwing to create a bowl or a mug!
In this beginner clay class you'll start by chosing a bowl or mug. Then, you'll get hands-on time to shape your piece on the wheel with personalized guidance from the instructor. If your piece requires a handle (like a mug), you’ll have time to add it, along with any final touches.
Afterward, we’ll prep your piece for firing, and you’ll return in two weeks to paint and finish your pottery masterpiece!

Cost is only $45 per person for 1 hour session. **Limited to 2 per session**
All supplies and tools will be provided. Ages 6+ .
