Teen Wheel Throwing
Thursdays, 10:00am
July 9 – 30 | Ages 13-17

Class:

This four‑week introductory wheel‑throwing course gives teens a hands‑on, confidence‑building experience with clay. Students learn the fundamentals of centering, pulling walls, shaping forms, trimming, and glazing. The class emphasizes exploration, skill‑building, and creative problem‑solving while maintaining a supportive studio environment. By the end of the month, each student will complete several functional or decorative wheel‑thrown pieces.

What You’ll Learn:

• Demonstrate foundational wheel‑throwing skills
• Create functional or decorative
• Understand trimming, surface design, and glazing
• Gain confidence working independently on the wheel
• Experience the full clay process from wet work to finished ceramic

***(Students are required to follow the instructor’s curriculum. Only work produced from that curriculum will be fired.)***

What You’ll Leave With:

Students will take home all wheel‑thrown pieces after glaze firing.

(Students will submit glazed works for final firing on the last day of class. Students will be contacted, via email, once their pottery has finished firing and available for pick up on a later date)

Deadline to register by: July 5th
