All Level Wheelthrowing
This class is for students of any level! Join us if you have little or

as mugs, bowls, plates, and vases. More advanced students will
focus on more throwing techniques, strengthening and varying
form, and increasing knowledge of glazing. A great class to learn
from a teacher and your peers.
