Our beginner's pottery class is specially designed to teach you the basics of wheel throwing. We will cover proper posture, breathing techniques, motor functions, form, and - of course - how to make safe functional pieces (mugs, cups, bowls, plates, etc)! Our goal in this class is to give you the best possible clay education while keeping the vibe and atmosphere fun and inviting. This 7-week course will meet every Saturday beginning November 2nd from 10 am - 1 pm with the final class being held on December 21st; there is no class on November 30th. There is usually one make-up session per person per class if you are sick or life gets in the way; since it is the holiday season we will allow up to 2 make-up classes per person for this session. Please email us if you need to reschedule and we will coordinate with you! :)

Check out the agenda section next to see what we have planned for each week. Additionally, we have a 7-week intermediate class for November-December and 1-day pottery workshops all through the fall and winter for those who can't commit to a full course; visit our events page for a full list of summer happenings!

Classes and workshops are open to anyone over the age of 10 years old, any person under the age of 13 must be accompanied by an adult at all times.

Note: Shahane will be the instructor! She has taught pottery since 2016, got her BFA in ceramic arts in 2015, and owns Pudgy's Place with her husband Phillip :)
