About this event
Spend an evening getting your hands muddy. This is a true beginner class — if you've never touched a wheel, this is for you.
Each student gets their own wheel and 5 lbs of stoneware clay. Our instructor, Theo, walks the group through centering, opening, and pulling walls. By the end of the night you'll have made at least one keep-able piece.
We fire and glaze your work in-house. Pieces are ready for pickup about three weeks later.
