Have you dreamed of serving on a dinner set made entirely by hand? This skills workshop will teach you the basics of designing a dinner set, making the prototype, taking measurements, and replicating your work. We will focus on creating a small salad plate, a dinner plate, a soup bowl, and one large serving bowl. You will gain access to open studio to make the rest of the place settings (with a goal of making a dinner set for four). Basic wheel experience is required 

This class comes with ONE WEEK of open studio access to finish items thrown during the class. This allows students to practice their skills learned in class and trim their own work. 

Workshop taught by Ella Watson

*This workshop is open to ages 12+ *

What class is right for me? 

Wheel I is a six week, true beginner class and requires no previous experience. Wheel I builds a foundation of skills needed to throw pottery as well as introduces basic pottery terminology. 

Wheel II is a six week class that builds on the foundations of Wheel I and introduces new techniques for throwing lager vessels, creating sets and working on consistency. 

Intro to Wheel is a great place to start if you're not sure if you can commit to six weeks of class. We cover the very basic steps to pottery in a fun and approachable environment.

What membership is right for me? 

Studio Membership is our all access membership. Members have access to wheels, handbuilding equipment, studio glazes, and other tools and resources you need to continue your journey into pottery! Members also have access to our library of resource books and the expertise of our staff. 

Handbuilding Membership gives you access to our handbuilding tables, slab roller, extruder, and studio glazes. If you're not a wheel thrower, this is the perfect way to stay engaged in the community!

Firing and Glazing Membership provides you access to our studio glazes and unlimited firing services. We fire to cone 04 for bisque and cone 6 for glaze. It's perfect for home potters that aren't ready for the commitment of a kiln, but want to stay engaged in the community. 

Drop-off Firing Service is perfect if you're a home pottery that is producing a few items at a time. It's great for a busy schedule that can't commit to a stretch of 6 or 12 weeks, just drop work off as you're able and pay by the pound for firing. We get most items though the kiln in 1-2 weeks.
