Wheel Try It Saturday

January 7, 2023 @ 10:30 am - 12:15 pm

$40.00

Our most popular workshop featuring in-depth demonstrations.  This class will teach you the following steps: how to center clay on the wheel, and how to pull a small form (cups or bowls). This class is more about the process of working with clay on the wheel than a specific project. Great for kids and adults who are interested in developing a set of skills for working with clay. Each participant will complete at least 1-2 cups or bowls. Projects will then be dried on our shelves and fired in the kiln, then coated with a white glaze and fired again. Your finished projects will be available for pickup 3 weeks later at ICCGS.

This class is all about the experience and learning how to work with the pottery wheel. This is a great way for kids and parents alike who are interested in working with clay to experience it firsthand. Minimum age is 9 years old. All skill levels welcome.

Date: Saturday, January 7th

Time: 10:30 AM–12:15 PM

Cost: $40.00/person
