This is a one-time class for people wanting to experience the beginnings of working on the potter’s wheel while making something useful for your home: a flower pot!
In the wheel-thrown planter class, each person makes 1 planter and 1 dish, both on the wheel. The class emphasizes the basics of working on the wheel including wedging, clay prep, a micro-lesson on centering, and steps to make a planter. The projects made are small to medium-sized. The class is one hour long. We glaze the planters for students. Students will choose a color before they leave and pick up the glazed pieces 4 weeks later.
Note: This class is being renamed “The First Throw Class” but this planter class will still be offered September 14th.

Wheel Thrown Planter Class
Monthly Ongoing Membership
Geared towards teaching all of our students the basis of hand-building and throwing. Our ongoing classes are to be considered an extended curriculum in hand-building or throwing. In regards to throwing, we start with the basics which include wedging clay, centering, coning, and starting with basic forms like cylinders/cups, bowls, and slowly progress to taller, wider, and shapely pieces.
Learning to throw is a process and we specialize in beginner or intermediate potters who want to hone in on the building blocks of throwing and perfect them. Handbuilding is all about clay manipulation and table work. We teach our students the basics with techniques like coiling, extruding, slab work, etc. Classes are small and personalized to your experience level. All experience levels are welcome.
Open Studio Hours: 2 hours of open studio can be used before or after each class
Cost | $250 for 4 classes
Duration | Two Hours Each Class
