This class will focus on building a foundation of skills for using the pottery wheel to make cylinders and bowls. This is a good class for those who are total beginners with pottery or those who have not touched the wheel for a while and want to refresh their knowledge, or those who are working on learning to throw a cylinder consistently. Students will learn about the stages of clay by using the pottery wheel to form pottery with wet clay, dry it to the right consistency to trim a foot, finish drying the pottery for its first firing, and glaze their work. Many people choose to repeat beginning wheel more than once or twice, until they can center clay and make cylinders without instruction before moving on to an intermediate wheel class. By the end of this class students will have completed several projects to take home and enjoy! Instructed by Lily. This three hour class will meet once per week starting and ending on the listed dates. Glazes, firing charges and one bag of clay per student are included in the class price. Similar to membership at Cascade, students can enjoy 24/7 access to the studio to work on projects. Community tools are provided or you may bring your own tools. Students get one 24 x 18 x 16 inch shelf to store projects and materials. Please read our terms of service and code of conduct before purchasing a class.

This is the perfect class for anyone interested in trying pottery for the first time, for those who have had some clay experience and want a refresher on making things and glazing, those who are looking to looking to improve on their skills before taking a more advanced class, or someone looking for a new hobby, so basically a great class for everyone! Students will learn basic techniques such as pinch pots, slab built forms, and coil pots all formed with just your hands and some simple tools. As you create projects, your instructor will teach about the different stages of clay and how to use it at each stage to your advantage. Students may create any forms they like with the techniques taught such as mugs, bowls, planters, vases, small busts, and much more! Students will also be taught about firing their work and glazing techniques. The possibilities with handbuilding are truly endless, and students are always encouraged to bring ideas for things they want help creating. Instructed by Lily.
