Girls Night Out on the Pottery Wheel

Class Description What better way to experience something new than with your bestie! No prior experience needed for this fun 3-hour introduction to working on the pottery wheel specifically designed for ladies aged 18+. We focus on creating a relaxing and memorable experience as we slowly walk through each step of the process. We start with a behind-the-scenes tour of the pottery studio before moving on to the basics of how to prepare the clay with a technique called wedging. This process will set us up for success once we jump onto the wheel! After preparing our clay, the instructor will provide a demonstration of the five main steps we go through when throwing a piece of pottery on the wheel. Students will then be guided step-by-step through each skill, and provided hands-on-corrections as needed.  Each student will be provided 4 x 1.5 lb balls of clay to practice with throughout the class.  Finished pots are usually ready for pick up within 3-6 weeks of the class. Pots must be picke
