Teen Introduction to Wheel Throwing
Saturday, February 8 | 11 am to 1 pm | Ages 13+ | $45
Just for teens, this workshop will introduce the basic skills of throwing on the potter’s wheel including centering, opening, pulling and shaping. Each student will use their creativity to create small cups and bowls. Students will typically complete around 3-5 pieces to fire. Students will glaze their favorite pieces, and finished and fired work will be ready for pick-up in 2 weeks (sometimes it takes a little longer). This class is for teen students (ages 13+) with little to no experience in ceramics. Dress to be messy!
