open wheel & handbuilding classes
open wheel
Open Wheel classes are a great way to try out the pottery wheel without the commitment of an 8-week class!
Open Wheel sessions are our introduction to working with clay on the pottery wheel. These sessions are one-night programs that are all about having fun and getting dirty! They run two hours and are scheduled for most Fridays and Saturdays during the year. Clay, tools, firing, and instruction from our knowledgeable staff are included. One pot that you make is included with your admission. If you happen to make more that you love, you can keep extra pots for $7 a piece. Pay at pickup.
