Beginner Wheel Throwing, 24SuBW2

Are you interested in clay but unsure where to start? Sign up for this five-week beginner wheel class and learn the basics of throwing pots on the potter’s wheel. This class will get you familiar with the material of clay and introduce foundational wheel-thrown forms such as bowls and cylinders. These classes have plenty of guidance for beginners, making them ideal if you have little to no experience with clay and want to test your interest and grow your skills. We recommend you take a beginner class two or more times (within one quarter, or over consecutive quarters) to build your skills and prepare for Intermediate-to-Advanced classes and beyond. Wear old clothes and bring an old towel, a bucket no larger than one gallon, and a beginner’s set of tools to the first class. Tool kits are available for $27 at NCC. Lab fee includes one 25 pound bag of clay up to a cost of $25, all glazing materials, firings, and open studio access. Formerly known as “Land of Round Pots”.
