Do you have a child that is curious to know what it’s like to throw on a potter’s wheel? Celebrate Fathers’ Day by sharing a clay experience with them! This 1.5 hour class is a great way to give it a try and find out, without a big commitment. Open to children age 8 and up who are big enough to sit at the wheel and work alone, with their parent at the wheel next door to encourage and assist, or a parent willing to share the stool and help and learn along with their child if the child is under 8.
Class begins with a focus on centering, followed by how to open, pull up walls, and form a cylinder. Forms and functions will be introduced and demonstrated. No experience is needed. All tools and materials are provided. Depending on skill and ability, some students may make a pot or two. After the lessons, those who have made a pot they wish to keep may choose a glaze color. Work will be dried, trimmed, glazed and fired in the following weeks and students/parents will be contacted when their pots are ready to pick up. This can take up to 6 weeks. Students may bring an apron or towel if they wish.
Cost is $50 per person/wheel. If a parent is going to sit at the same wheel to assist a smaller child, they need only book 1 seat.
Short fingernails are strongly recommended.
