Pottery - Wheel Throwing Workshop
instructor - sabine wecker & nikki little

Come try your hand at wheel thrown pottery. In this evening workshop, participants will be given a lesson and hands on demonstration on how to use a pottery wheel to make a bowl. Then each participant will sit down at their own wheel and practice their skills. The focus for this workshop is on learning the process and skills needed to complete a piece on the wheel. Patrick will not be there to help you, so you're on your own ;)
Any completed bowls will be fired in our kiln and taken home to enjoy.

adult Hand-Building Instructor- Nikki Little age 14+
Are you curious about working with clay off the wheel?
Hand-building techniques have been around for thousands of years and are found in cultures across the world. In this one-evening workshop, you'll dip your toes (or more accurately, your fingers) into one of these hand-building techniques. You will create a sculpture or functional artwork and finish the surface of your work using the texturing tools we have available at the studio.
Our instructors will glaze and fire your artwork after the workshop. We will announce pickup dates through Facebook, Instagram, and our email newsletter (don't forget to subscribe).
