Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this pottery wheel class:

Try your hand at throwing on the wheel. Learn all the techniques of professional potters, including how to make functional pieces, like mugs, vases, and bowls.

Between classes, students are welcome to practice at no additional charge, providing the studio is open and classes are not in session.

Due to space limitations, we cannot offer make-up or drop-in classes.

Please note:
There is an additional fee of $50 for each course at registration. This covers materials used, including clay, glazes, tools and the cost of bisque and glaze firings up to 1000 cubic inches of pottery per course. When a student makes work that exceeds this amount, additional charges will be accrued at 5 cents per cubic inch. This $50 fee is called 'sign-up fee'.

    It was my first time at the wheel and it was a great experience! It looks very easy when you watch an experienced person but it requires a lot of practice to throw things so effortlessly. Class is once a week but you students can visit any time during the week when the studio is open and there are no classes. Peggy is an amazing teacher. She has many years of experience and is also one of the owners of the studio. She is very patient and provides individual attention to students during the class. My favorite part of the class is glazing which we learned in the 7th week. It's when everything you've learned comes together with color and become beautiful pieces of work. I have developed a greater appreciation for all things pottery!

    Anonymous review on 12/17/2014
    This class was great. I loved that you can come in during open studio hours as often as you like. The only reason I did not give 5 starts is because as a complete newbie is was hard to follow at times, especially with everyone at all different levels. I ended up spending an extra $50 on a private lesson which made the whole experience much more enjoyable.

Review Summary by CourseHorse

Students at Wheel overall they found the class to be enjoyable and rewarding. Some students underestimated the difficulty of working with a wheel, but they appreciated the challenge and found it to be fun. They also enjoyed the benefit of having access to free studio hours outside of class. Peggy, the teacher and owner of the studio, was highly praised for her experience and patience, and she provided individual attention to students during class. Glazing, which was taught in the 7th week, was a favorite part of the class as it allowed students to see their skills come together with color and create beautiful pieces of work. One student mentioned developing a greater appreciation for pottery, while another appreciated the welcoming and supportive community at the studio. Direct quotes: - "It looks very easy when you watch an experienced person but it requires a lot of practice to throw things so effortlessly." - "My favorite part of the class is glazing which we learned in the 7th week.
