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 select Thursdays each month (Both are identical 1.5 hour long classes, one from 2:30-4pm & the next at 4:30-6pm) 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.
What to bring
- comfortable (warm in the winter) clothes/pants - you need to be able to straddle the wheel
- Hair tie if you have long hair
- Short finger nails
You will get clay on your clothes but it 1000% comes out in the wash
There is a class limit of 6 people - pre registration is required. Ages 8 and up are welcome to join.
Wanting more time in the studio? You may purchase a daily studio pass or save when buying 5 or 10 on a punch pass!
