Beginners will learn the basics of throwing clay on a pottery wheel: how to handle and center clay on the wheel, practice creating cylinders to shape bowls and cups and how to trim and prep work for firing. Potters with some experience in wheel throwing will be guided through more advanced techniques. Each student will be met at their own level.
