This class is for the beginner to advanced potter who wants to learn the wheel and/or take their work to the next level. We will focus on the very basics of throwing on a potter’s wheel and then move on to a personal project. This can be a set of plates, mugs, a teapot, whatever you can imagine, we can create.
