Give it a Spin; Pottery Wheel Class

  • OUTSIDE the BOX Art Studio 43 North West Street Bellbrook, OH, 45305 United States (map)

Give the potters wheel a spin during our one-time, crash course on throwing on the wheel! Then, return to glaze your work a few weeks later. Ages 9 all the way to 99 are welcome!

+ no experience needed
This class is structured for those who have little to no experience on the pottery wheel. Although structured for beginners, all levels are welcome.

+ the event flow
We will start off with a quick intro and demo so we can get to know our group and the basic steps of throwing a clay piece on the wheel. From there we will spend the majority of our time practicing each step together as a group (watching the clay fly, flop, and hopefully become a thing!) And BOOM, you have made your first piece! If time allows, there will be opportunity to apply what you have learned and make a second piece all on your own!

+ what you will make
The fact is, ceramics is a craft. It takes a lot of practice to get to the level of what we see on those trendy tik-tok videos or TV shows. What you make during this event will vary from person to person but a small bowl, cup, or vase are common outcoms. They may be a bit ‘organic’ or ‘perfectly imperfect’ for your first go but, gosh darn it, you made a thing and that’s a success all on it’s own!
