what will i learn in 8 weeks?

Our 8-week courses offer a more in-depth exploration of pottery through both wheel throwing and hand building, with classes available at a variety of skill levels.

Depending on the class level, students will build foundational skills or explore a broader range of techniques and projects while experiencing the full pottery process.

  • Beginner: Learn the foundations of wheel throwing and hand building.

  • All Levels: Beginners learn the basics while returning students work on more advanced skills, with guidance tailored to each student.

How Does the Class Work?

  • Each class meets once a week for 2 hours of instruction, followed by 30 minutes of cleanup time.

  • This is a general course outline. The schedule may vary slightly depending on the instructor and the pace of the class.

Week Focus
1 Wheel Throwing Basics
2 Wheel Throwing Practing
3 Trimming & Handle Attachment
4 Hand building
5 Wheel Techniques
6 Wheel Techniques
7 Trimming & Surface Design
8 Glazing

What's Included?

  • We provide all the materials you'll need, including clay, tools, glazes, and firing—just bring yourself!

    If you already have your own pottery tools, you're welcome to bring and use them.

  • We do provide aprons, but pottery can still get a little messy, so we recommend wearing comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting dirty.

what if i miss a class?

  • Each student may attend one Makeup Day within 8 weeks from their first class. To be eligible, you must submit the form below at least 24 hours before your missed class.

  • Because pottery is a multi-step process, missing a regular class may result in your work not being completed, even if you attend a Makeup Day.

  • Makeup Days provide additional time to continue your work with guidance from an instructor, but may differ from the regular class you missed.

  • For full details, please review the Makeup Day section in our Class Policies.
