This class will involve both hand building, as well as wheel work. This allows everyone something to do as there are limited pottery wheels. Janet will demonstrate first, but then sit with each student while they are at the wheel. It takes a while to get the hang of centering and pulling up a wall, so time at the wheel is important. Leave the class with more than one finished piece.

25# of clay will be provided for each student. Students should bring 1 ice cream pail with cover, 1-2 old bath towels or an apron, 1 old dish cloth or wash cloth, pencil and notebook.
