WHEEL (AGE requirement: 12+ ) The Pottery Wheel is a relaxing and fun activity. It is a harder acquired skill to learn. Class hybrid = 1.5 hrs on the wheel with instructions/feedback or Experience Potter: 1 hr on the wheel no feedback or instructions. Private lessons are available PP = Potters' Paradise turnaround time: 2 weeks

Throwing on the wheel for the first time is a lot like riding a bike for the first time learning how to balance, control the pedals, work the breaks all while moving forward at a good speed, and watching where you are going.

Pottery wheel class you will be taught:

1. how to prep clay

2. body positioning

3. wheel speeds and direction knowledge

4. centering the clay

5. making a cylinder shape: bowl, cup, or vase shape

6. how to wet trim

Step by step on first piece, 2nd piece you do without instructions.

HANDBUILD (not on the wheel) Handbuilding is using techniques with your hands. Techniques: pinch, slab, coil, sculpt.

Focus 1 class: beginners

Focus 2-3 class: intermediate
