Parents Class Outline:

Week 1:

Introduction to Wheel Throwing!

It’s so exciting to throw a pot on the wheel, so let’s get dirty! Your instructor will teach you the basic steps and techniques for throwing bowls & mugs. ​​

Weeks 2 and 3: Trimming & Throwing.

Class will start with learning about trimming excess clay and cleaning up the bottoms of your new pots.  After your pieces are trimmed, back to throwing some new creations!

Week 4: Glazing.

Learning about the fundamentals of glazing and under glazing and try out a few of your first pieces out of the first firing. After you finish glazing, you’ll be trimming your pieces from week 4 and then throwing new pieces if there’s time.

Week 5: Trimming and Finishing.

Trim your pieces from week 6, and try out some hand-building.  Everything needs to be finished by the end of this class and ready to go into the kiln to be fired and ready for glazing next week.

Week 6:

Decorate with your child!

Take a couple of your finished pieces at Wheelhouse Pottery and use underglazes to paint and decorate your pottery with your child! If there's time after that, we will do a hand-building project back in the wheelhouse studio.

Week 7: Glaze and Finish!

Try out dipping glazing from our selection of gorgeous options! Experiment with different methods and colour combos.
