Low commitment and a great way to test out wheel throwing without an 8 week commitment! Grab your significant other, mom & dad, or some girlfriends for this super fun & relaxed ‘sampler’ class. Commit to three hours of just one day, and try the potter’s wheel out, you might get sucked in and take a longer class! Your instructor will get you throwing on the wheel. Keep one of your best pieces to bisque and glaze, or you can keep it to glaze in an 8-week course. Pieces will be available for pick up three to four weeks after classes.
