Pottery isn’t always financially accessible, and we want to help change that!

This is the same great Friday afternoon wheel class at a lower cost for those our community who are navigating tight budgets but want to experience clay.

This operates on an honor system: if you can pay the full rate of our other classes, please leave these spots for your studio-mates. However, if you need a lower price right now, we warmly welcome you—no proof needed or questions asked.

This course offers new students a 6 week introduction to the potter’s wheel. Participants will experience basic methods of centering clay, forming cylinder and pottery bowl forms, trimming and adding handles. Students will also learn how to finish their pots using standard decorating and glazing techniques. This class is for students with no prior pottery wheel experience, all are welcome.

Course fee includes unlimited practice clay, use of all community tools and equipment, studio glazes made in-house, bisque firing and glaze firing. Students may fire and keep up to 10lb fired clay per class. Open studios on Saturdays are also included for students currently enrolled in a class.
