Throwing 101 Returns to GRA this October!! Registration opens 1 month in advance.

Are you interested in learning how to throw pottery on the wheel?? Or are you looking for some hands on learning/refining of your skills with some extra help from Frances? Well look no further! We have got you covered at Great River Arts in Little Falls!

Throwing 101 is offered monthly, on the first Friday and Saturday of the month (starting at 3:30pm on Friday and 11am on Saturday) In each class we will go over some of the basics of clay, the 4 main steps of throwing, as well as tips and tricks along the way. 

There is no "trimming" portion of the class. The goal of Throwing 101 is to learn through the practice of doing. Each participant will be given three 1# balls of clay. If you choose to keep any pieces, you're welcome to glaze/fire pieces via a day pass or as a part of our monthly Pottery Painting ($5 per piece to cover glazes and firing). 

There is a class limit of 6 people - pre registration is required. Ages 8 and up are welcome to join.

Wanting more clay? You may purchase - $1/pound

Wanting more time in the studio? You may purchase a daily studio pass or save when buying 5 or 10 on a punch pass!

If you have any questions feel free to call us @ 3206320960 Wed-Fri 10am-5pm & 10am-2pm
