Wheel Throwing Classes

We offer the lowest student to teacher ratio (5:1) in Silicon Valley.  Full classes receive two teachers the first class. This allows our teachers to spend quality time with each student.  Open Studio privileges are extended to Beginner Students between week 1 and week 4 which includes unlimited clay and practice time.  Our series will teach you to throw, trim, and glaze your pots. You will finish our series ready to continue into our available Intermediate Weekly class.

Typical 5 Week Wheel Class
Week 1:  Wheel Throwing: The first week you will become acquainted with the studio, its processes, and learn to throw your first pots.
Week 2:  Trimming: On the second week you will learn to trim pots thrown week 1 to achieve a good foot rim and even walls. More throwing if time permits.
Week 3:  Throwing and Shaping: Shaping will be introduced once you are able to pull a cylinder with ease. Mastering cylinders is our ultimate goal for you because they are the starting point for most pots thrown on the wheel. 
Week 4: Trim All Pots: Open Studio will end with this class.  You will trim your final pots and we fast track them to be bisque fired so they are ready for your glazing class.
Week 5:  Glaze: You will gather all your pots thrown over the previous 4 weeks and learn to apply glaze.  7-10 day later you will pick up your finished pottery.
