Intro To Clay (2 Hour Session)

In our 2-hour Intro to Clay lesson, we walk through coning and centring a 1.5 lb ball of clay, before creating an opening and pulling up walls on a potter's wheel.

The goal of the class is to give you a feel for the clay and the wheel.  You won't be leaving with any pieces at this time. Tools and clay will be provided.

Plan for approximately 30 minutes' clean up after class; pottery is a ton of fun but it's messy :D

Minimum Age:  16 years old
