***HOMESCHOOL STUDENTS ONLY*** CLASS DESCRIPTION Ready for a challenge? Learn the basics of wheel-throwing! In this Intro to Potter's Wheel class designed for middle and high school students, kids will explore the fundamentals of wheel-thrown ceramics in a fun, supportive environment. Guided by an experienced instructor, students will learn how to center clay, form basic shapes like bowls and cups, and apply colorful glazes. Each week builds on the last, encouraging creativity, patience, and fine motor skills. This class is broken down into two 4-week sessions with 60-minute weekly classes and is meant to be taken back-to back for a total of 8 weeks. By the end of both sessions, students will have an established foundation in wheel-throwing and several finished pieces to take home. After completing both 4-week sessions, students can decide to continue into Intermediate Wheel (also in two 4-week sessions later in Fall 25) or try out something else such as sculpting or handbuilding. All clay, glazes and shared tools are included in the session pricing!
