Service Description

Create functional pottery you'll use every day. In this 8-week wheel throwing series, you'll move beyond basic forms and start throwing pieces designed for real kitchen use — pulling handles, opening tight forms, piercing and texturing surfaces, and shaping lids that actually fit. Projects covered in this series may include: Garlic / ginger grater — piercing and texturing a curved surface for grating Herb stripper — throwing a form with holes sized for stripping stems Spoon rest — shaping a simple, functional curve Citrus juicer — throwing a ribbed dome and matching catch bowl Salt cellar — a small lidded form with a well-fitted lid Pie / casserole dish — a wide, flat form with a fluted or scalloped edge Berry bowl — a pierced bowl with a matching under-plate Garlic keeper — a lidded, ventilated storage form Mortar and pestle — a thick-walled bowl paired with a hand-thrown pestle Large serving bowl — pulling tall, even walls on a wider form Projects shown are examples of what we'll cover, and the exact lineup may shift week to week. Class Format 8 weeks, 2.5 hours per session. Prerequisites You must have completed a beginner wheel throwing series, or Be comfortable centering 2–3 pounds of clay on your own. Independent Study Independent study hours are highly encouraged for this class. As projects get more involved, class time is focused on new information and technique — putting in some independent practice time, during or after class sessions, is what helps you fully execute each project and get the most out of the series. Clay usage is unlimited throughout class. Your class cost includes 8 firing tickets, which you can use across any of your projects throughout the course. Unused tickets don't expire — use them in a future class or independent study module, and you can always purchase more if you need them. Age Requirement 15+ What to Bring Hand towel — the studio does not provide towels or paper towels. Apron (optional). Trimming tool — needed by week two; we'll cover which one to get in your first session. Comfortable, closed-toe shoes and clothes you don't mind getting messy. The studio provides basic tools, but feel free to build your own kit with items like sponges, wire tools, and ribs. Pickup Policy Pieces are ready for pickup 10–14 days after your last session. The studio does not store pieces for more than one month after your class ends — please finish and pick up your pieces promptly. Come stock your kitchen with pieces you made
