Discover the joy of working with clay in this introductory wheel-throwing course designed for absolute beginners. Over four weeks, you’ll learn the fundamentals of centering, pulling walls, and shaping simple forms such as bowls and cylinders. With hands-on guidance at every step, you’ll build confidence on the wheel while exploring the tactile, meditative nature of the process. We’ll cover trimming, surface techniques, and glazing so you can finish a small collection of your own handmade pieces. All are welcome ages 16 & up. No experience needed—just curiosity, patience, and a willingness to get a little muddy!
This is a 4-week class, with 3-hour long sessions. Finished work can be picked up March 10-11th.
Materials Provided: 11 lbs of cone 6 clay and a bucket. Studio equipment & tools, glazes, and firings also included.
Dates:
Saturdays: Feb 14, 21, 28, and March 7.
Sundays: Feb 15 & 22, March 14 & 15.
Location:
Clare’s studio in Roberts Creek
