3-Week Intermediate Pottery Wheel Throwing Sampler Class! Dec 3-17

Gift yourself peace this holiday season with a clay sampler that lets you unleash your creative side in a safe and encouraging environment! Our sampler pottery class is ideal for those who want to try pottery for the first time or anyone looking to refresh their pottery knowledge. We will cover proper posture, breathing techniques, motor functions, form, and - of course - how to make safe, functional pieces (double-walled forms, larger pieces, etc)! Our goal in this class is to give you the best possible clay education while keeping the vibe and atmosphere fun and inviting. Specifically, you'll learn centering via coning up and down, opening the form, pulling the walls of the clay pot, trimming your pots (carving and finishing the bottoms), and finally glazing them (the top coat). This 3-week course will meet every Thursday starting December 3rd from 6:30 - 9 pm, with the final class being held on December 17th. There is one make-up session per person per class if you are sick or life gets in the way. Please email us if you need to reschedule, and we will coordinate with you! :) Check out the agenda section next for a breakdown of what we have planned for each week. Additionally, we have other classes and 1-day pottery workshops! Visit our events page for a full list of happenings :) All classes and workshops are open to anyone over the age of 10 years old (unless otherwise stated), and any person under the age of 13 must be accompanied by an adult at all times. Note: Shahane will be the instructor! She has taught pottery since 2016, got her BFA in ceramic arts in 2015 with a double minor in art history and psychology, and owns Pudgy's Place with her husband Phillip :) Address: Pudgy's Place, 119R Foster St. Bldg. 13 Unit 1E, Peabody MA, 01960
