Personal Enrichment

 Experience working on the potter’s wheel in this two-hour session for adults. Working on the wheel is an age-old practice of using your hands and a spinning wheel to create useful and beautiful objects out of clay. You will learn the basics of centering the clay on the wheel, opening the form, and pulling up the walls to make everything from bowls to vases. Up to three completed pieces per person will be glazed in your choice of color and will be ready for pick up approximately two weeks after class. All participants will be required to wear masks during these classes.

 Organize that mess of wooden spoons and spatulas into a handsome countertop utensil holder. In this one-day course, you will use slabs of clay to hand build a large utensil holder. The slabs can be textured and a plaque with your last name or short phrase can be added to personalize your piece. 

All classes are taught by Joshua Rysted in the studio, making hand-built pieces with no previous clay experience required. Tools and supplies will be provided, and projects will be glazed in your choice of color, fired, and ready for pick-up two weeks after class. Your pottery will be microwave and dishwasher safe. We will email you with pick-up instructions. All participants will be required to wear masks during these classes.
