You’ll have plenty of time to create, experiment, and enjoy the pottery wheel in a relaxed, small-group setting. We’ll finish the class by showing you how to clean your wheel and workspace.

We’ll take care of the trimming, firing, and glazing, and glaze one of your pieces with a clear, food-safe finish for you to take home.
