About This Camp & Activity
This six-week beginner wheel class introduces students to the fundamentals of throwing on the pottery wheel. Students will learn basic techniques including centering clay, pulling walls, shaping simple forms (cups, bowls, and cylinders), and best practices around the Gilpin Clay Studio. Each week builds progressively, with demonstrations, guided practice, and individual instruction. The course also covers basic trimming, glazing, and the firing process.As each class builds upon itself, it is not recommended to miss class, especially the first class that will provide an overview of the multi-step process to crafting ceramics. No prior experience is required—just curiosity and a willingness to get a little muddy.Instructor: Aden HockExperience Level: BeginnerFees: $160.
