About the Event
This clay-filled experience is all about learning how to throw small pots on the Potter's Wheel or creating a slab tray or coiled bowl, and you even get to keep them! You'll be able to give pieces that extra personal touch they need by glazing them in underglaze. From there, the pots will dry out over the next few days and will be glazed with a clear-coat to help make the underglaze bright and shiny. Once the pieces are fired you will be notified to come back to pick up your ready to display/use wares!
Things you need to know:
This is messy work, so wear clothing you don't mind getting dirty. We have aprons and towels available for use. Short nails are best for beginners working with clay on the wheel. We have nail clippers if you need to chop your claws. Feel free to BYOB if you're 21 and over.
