• 8-Week Wheel Throwing Class

    Over the course of eight weeks, you will learn to throw pottery on the wheel, trim pots and glaze. Each class is 3 hours long at my studio. A 25-lb. bag of clay is included in the cost of the session.* You may borrow my tools or purchase a beginner’s set of tools. Please bring an old bath-sized towel.

    Discounts will apply if two or three students enroll for the same class dates. (Three is the current maximum number of wheel throwing students I can accommodate.)

    Appropriate for students who are just beginning or are experienced and want to refine their skills.

    * Students may bring their own clay with pre-approval; the cost of clay will be subtracted from the cost of the class.

  • 3-Week Wheel Throwing Class

    This is a series of three 3-hour classes at my studio. The first class will introduce you to wheel throwing; during class in the second week you will trim those pieces, and in the third week you will glaze your pots.

    Clay will be provided for you to make pieces. You may borrow my tools or purchase a beginner’s set of tools. Please bring an old bath-sized towel.

    Pick up of finished pieces can be arranged, or you may choose to pay to have them shipped to you.

    Discounts will apply if two or three students enroll. (Three is the current maximum number of wheel throwing students I can accommodate.)

  • 1-Time Taste of Clay Experience

    Are you brand new to clay and want to see what all the fuss is about? This is a 3-hour class at my studio that will give you a taste of working with clay.

    Clay will be provided for you to make pieces. At the end of the class, you may choose a glaze that I will apply after a bisque firing. Pick up of finished pieces can be arranged, or you may choose to pay to have them shipped to you.

    Wheel throwing and handbuilding options are available. Not sure which to choose? If you don’t mind getting messy I recommend trying the wheel. If you are more interested in having a final piece that is functional, I recommend handbuilding.

    Rates will vary between wheel throwing and handbuilding. Discounts will apply if two or three students enroll. (Three is the current maximum number of wheel throwing students I can accommodate; I can fit more students if the group is handbuilding.)

Come learn pottery with me! I am an experienced instructor with experience in clay since 2008. I would love to teach you how to make objects out of clay.

Please be aware that my studio is located in a relatively remote area outside of Boone and Blowing Rock, NC. The drive takes approximately 30 minutes from that direction. In the event of severe weather, it may be necessary to reschedule your class until you can travel here safely. I will provide my address and detailed directions upon enrollment in a class.

I own two dogs who will not attend classes with you, but they may leave dog hair in the studio from time to time. I do my best to clean the studio regularly, but if you have allergies to dogs, please let me know so that I can accommodate your needs.
