Pottery on the Wheel for Teens and Adults

How do you throw clay on the wheel? Beginners will learn how to use the wheel to create three-dimensional forms and vessels. Demonstrations will cover the basics of wedging, centering, pulling, trimming, and forming functional vessels. If you are accustomed to clay, come and fine-tune your skills, learn a new technique, and challenge yourself with larger, more complex forms. Dress for a mess and wear tennis shoes. Bring your ideas, excitement, and inspiration to each class. One 25 lbs bag of clay is included. Any additional clay can be purchased from the Owatonna Arts Center. Basic glazing will be covered to finish all pieces.

Call the instructor at 507-835-1192 or the Owatonna Arts Center at 507-451-0533 if you have any questions.
