Advanced Wheel Throwing

REGISTER

Build on the foundations of wheel throwing in this hands-on intermediate-to-advanced class. With personalized, small-group instruction from Chris, you'll get comfortable with advanced techniques on the pottery wheel as you expand upon the basics (centering, pulling walls, and shaping), creating more complex forms like vases and mugs. You must have taken one Intro to Wheel class at the Arts Center or have prior experience on the wheel to be eligible for this class.

You will have the opportunity to throw as many pieces as you'd like, but you may only take 1 piece home. Each additional piece costs $10. All finished pieces that are not taken home will be donated to the Arts Center!
