Introduction to Wheel Throwing
Join me in the studio to try your hand at throwing pottery! During an Introduction Class we will go over all the basics around prepping the clay as well as being introduced to beginner wheel throwing techniques. I will provide all materials including three 1lb pieces of clay that you’ll use at the wheel to make your very own ceramic creations. The pieces you make that day will then be trimmed, fired and glazed by me for you to pick up at a later date. Your hand crafted pieces will be something to treasure for years to come!
$95 for a two hour one-on-one session or $175 for two people
4 Week Wheel Throwing Class Package
This option is for those aspiring to dive a little deeper into the world of wheel thrown pottery. You’ll work along side me as we lay the foundation of basic ceramic techniques. You will learn each step of the process including wedging, throwing specific forms at the wheel, trimming and ultimately glazing your pieces by the final week of our session. All materials included. After each 4 week session, you have first priority over others to enter into another 4 week session and continue growing your knowledge and technical skills around wheel thrown pottery.

Open Studio (so fun!)
Have you taken a class from me before?
If yes, then this might be the right fit for you to truly begin honing your ceramic abilities through your own practice and creative expression with all materials provided.
Open studio means you have the space to yourself for two hours, play some music and get to throwing. I’m around if you need help, but this is more independent practice to grow your own skills as a potter.
Open Studio amenities are
Full use of studio space including all materials for making such as the pottery wheel, bats, trimming tools, throwing tools, etc.
I will provide you your own 25lb bag of clay
A 16x36in shelf devoted to only your pieces until they are ready to be fired
Kiln use
Access to my personal glazes
$50 per two hour session
