Wheel Throwing and Handbuilding is one class potters do not want to miss. The lessons are suited to both beginners and continuing students.

Beginners learn how to throw on the potter's wheel and create projects using handbuilding techniques.

Continuing students are assisted to progress at their own pace and opportunities for special projects may be accommodated.

The class is also offered for beginners and intermediate potters.
