Introduction to the Potters Wheel
Learn the basics of how to throw a piece from start to finish. Once students become familiar with working in a ceramic studio, they will refine their skills and discuss form and function. All instructors will demonstrate how to throw different kinds of pieces as well as different decorating techniques with their own personal flair! All glazes and firings are included in the class price. All levels welcome.
