Thursday Night Pottery – 4-Week Beginner Wheel Throwing Course with Cathy - Starts 4/10

If you have ever wanted to try your hand at the potter's wheel, this 4-week course is for you! We will teach you the basics of throwing on the wheel, a great skill to learn solo or with a friend!

Since (re)starting my pottery journey, Animal House has been a safe space for me to learn and grow - while making many mistakes - and I'm grateful to share this special place with you.

In this 4-week course, you will learn:

• Clay preparation/wedging (ram's head & spiral)
• Centering
• Pulling walls/shaping
• Making bowls and cylinders
• Trimming
• Glazing

CLASS SCHEDULE
These classes will take place Thursday evenings from 6pm to 8pm starting April 10, 2025.

Each week will build upon the previous week, so please be sure you are able to attend each of the four weeks before booking. 

Week 1 - Wedging & Throwing
Week 2 - Throwing
Week 3 - Trimming
Week 4 - Glazing

Bisque and glaze firing of your pieces are included. Final firing may take 3-4 weeks to complete.

THINGS TO NOTE

• To ensure the smooth operation of the studio and secure a calm creative practice, the classes are not refundable and it is not possible to reschedule sessions to other times.
• Make sure you come to class ready to get messy! You may bring your own aprons or towels if you wish - we also have aprons on hand you can borrow. Wear comfortable clothes you don't mind getting dirty.
