This is an introductory class for students that have no experience. In this class, students will learn the basic and intermediate skills they will need to create their own Pottery. Students will learn centering, trimming, and wedging. They will also learn to make cups, mugs, bowls, and handles. After you have created your artwork, you can add color to bring it to life with glazes and other decorations.

Typically, students take this class more than once before they are comfortable moving on to the next level.
