Perfect beginners wheel class that includes demonstration and hands-on instruction.

(If you already know how to center on the wheel, please check out our Intermediate Pottery Class at Main Exhibit Gallery).

In the six sessions, Amy will cover centering on the wheel and basic throwing techniques: how to make cups, bowls and other vessels, how to alter thrown pieces, and make and attach handles. Those with limited wheel experience will also benefit from review of techniques. This is strictly a beginner pottery wheel class. Slab work will not be explored in this class. We feel it takes several sessions to grasp the art of throwing and centering. After session 5, all pots will be bisque fired. The sixth session will cover basic glazing of your pots and work will be glaze fired.

Registration includes all materials you will need for class, one bisque firing and one glaze firing. Classes are limited to 6 students, ensuring a high level of individual attention, and are reserved on a first-paid basis.

Pre-registration with payment is required. If you cannot pay online, or prefer to pay with a check, please call Main Exhibit Gallery at 724-238-2310 to register. You will be considered registered when payment is received. If you cancel by April 3 you may receive a full refund.

All workshops are held at Main Exhibit Gallery’s fully-accessible Art Center located at the lower level rear of the building at 301 West Main Street, Ligonier, PA. For more information: 724-238-2310
