Mondays, November 2, 9, 16, 23, 30, December 7, 2026from 9:30 AM to 12:30 PM6-class session fee: $295 / $236 annual donorsStudent supply fee: $65 purchased as needed through the box office. Includes a 20lb. bag of clay, glaze used and kiln firing. 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! Cancellation deadline: 10/26/26Call the box office to register: 239-395-0900
