Give it a try nights
Our give it a try nights are a chance for people who are interested in learning how to throw on the wheel to try it out. Because learning to throw takes time, students shouldn’t expect to leave this class having made a beautiful pot, but they should expect to leave with a basic understanding of the steps involved in throwing on the potters wheel, as well as an idea of if its something they would like to take a longer class learning!
The classes are on Friday nights from 6-8:30pm, and dates are announced for the classes on our instagram towards the end of each month. We typically run two give it a try nights per month.
Our give it a try nights cost $80/person.
If a student decides to keep a pot they made at the event they are welcome to do so for an additional $10, and we will glaze and fire it for them! (this cost we don’t include in the class as not everyone has a pot they’d like to keep)
please note that these classes are non-refundable so make sure you can make it!
