Start your weekend with a fun, wheel-throwing class for all ages! LUX Teaching Artists will provide instruction and inspiration as participants learn the basics of the pottery wheel. Projects may include bowls, mugs, and vases. A paying adult must accompany all children age 11 and under. Participants aged 9 and under must share a wheel with a parent/guardian. Teens, ages 12-15, do not need a parent or guardian to stay, but they MUST be reachable in case of emergencies. Pieces will be clear-glazed by the instructor and will be ready for pick up in 2 weeks.

Intermediate wheel students will build skills and fluency with clay by exploring the foundations of the pottery wheel with a variety of fun exercises and loose assignments. The class will begin with an overview of the basics (wedging, centering, pulling, etc) to build a solid foundation and help give students confidence to take on more complex forms. Students will learn, in depth, about the process of turning clay into ceramic, including drying stages and moisture management, firing processes, decorating techniques, fixing mistakes, planning forward, and more.

Create your very own handmade mugs in this two-week mini course! With instructor demos and one-on-one guidance, students will learn the basics of throwing on the wheel including centering, opening, and pulling walls to achieve height. After the first week, participants will trim their forms, create and attach handles, and will have the option to glaze their work in a variety of colors. All experience levels welcome. Finished mugs will be low fired to Cone 04 and ready to pick up two weeks after the end of the course.
