This class includes two hours of instruction where you will be guided through the basic steps of throwing on the potter’s wheel.

What to wear to class:
Wear clothes you don’t mind getting dirty. We have aprons and the clay will wash out. But, if you’re heading to a fancy dinner after class, you might want to bring a change of clothes.
Long nails are okay, but will make things a little bit harder!
Long hair should be pulled back.
It’s a good idea to remove any rings, watches or bracelets as well.
No dangly necklaces! Or hoodie strings! As long as they’re tucked away, it’s all good.
Also!! If you’re instructor forgets to ask, please let them know if you’re left handed!
Excited to see you at the studio! Stay creative!
