Wheel Throwing 101 is where it all begins. Over six weeks you'll learn to center, open, and pull clay into functional forms while building the foundational skills that every wheel thrower returns to no matter how advanced they get. We'll also cover trimming, basic surface decoration, and glazing so you leave with finished pieces and a real understanding of the full process from raw clay to fired pot. No experience necessary. Just show up ready to get muddy.

Come ready to get messy. Wear clothes you don't mind getting dirty; don't worry about clay on your clothes - it washes right off! Most importantly, come ready to have fun! Students with all level of experience are welcome.

This class is taught by Lynn Cardwell. Lynn has over 10 years of experience in pottery and education.
