During this 6-week course, beginning students will learn the basics of throwing clay on the pottery wheel, learning how to wedge, center, and start on a path to making many different shapes. The potter’s wheel can be a meditative, and challenging, yet rewarding, artistic journey that acts as a therapeutic escape.
Preparation for class starts before you leave home. Wear clothes you don’t mind getting mud on. It was hard to imagine the havoc it would create when I was staring down at the spotless wheel and a small lump of clay centered in the middle. Embrace the wonky and wobbly, which is all part of the learning. Once you get the feel, it is like riding a bike and you will be hooked!
