Learn to throw clay on the potter’s wheel in this fun 4-week class! This course is designed for those who are totally new to throwing, but it's also perfect if you've thrown before and just need to get reacquainted with the basics.

This course is appropriate for adult students at the following levels:*
- Beginner (no prior experience)
- Beginner (some prior experience)
*Children 14 years of age and older may take this course with a concurrently registered and attending parent or adult guardian. All adults and children must be registered individually.
Included in your tuition
- Midrange stoneware clay
- Firing fees for pieces made in this class
- Use of communal studio tools (individual tool kits also available for purchase)
- Use of studio slips, stains, and glazes
Good to know
- Please be advised that throwing on the wheel may be difficult for students with long nails.
- We suggest that all students bring an old bath towel to cover their clothes while throwing. It's also a good idea to wear an apron or old clothes that can get dirty.
- To cut down on trash, we don't provide paper towels in the studio. We suggest all students bring a hand or kitchen towel to dry their hands.
- Registrations for courses that have not met the required number of students will close 24 hours before the start date of the course.
- Students may return to the Clay Center during Open Studio to finish pieces started in class for one month following the last class day of their registered class.

Missed Class/Make-up Policies

- After the last class in a session has begun, we will email all enrolled students with information on available class make-up spots for that session.

Maranda is an AMAZING teacher I learn so much from her and her demos are really helpful: I’ve tried taking pottery before and didn’t like it but I love it learning it from her it’s much more approachable
