Private Wheel Throwing Lesson (1-9ppl)

Service Description

No experience necessary - Try wheel throwing without committing to a multi-week course! $100 for 1 person $90/person for 2+ people Over the course of 90 minutes, you will receive hands-on, customized instruction tailored to meet your skill level, goals, and interests. All tools, supplies, and materials will be provided, a step by step demonstration will be included, and you will have the opportunity to walk away with finished ceramic wares. You will each be given three (3) 1lb balls of clay from which you can create, your own work station, pottery wheel, and tools. Absolutely no sharing! Why 1lb? This is because anything larger than that is hard to center, and must be worked up to over time. Aptly coined, many potters refer to it as the “universal starting weight”. While 1lb might not seem like very much clay, you can actually create just about anything from it; mugs, cups, vases, pasta bowls etc. In fact, most household wares are made from similar amounts of clay! Similarly, we have found three to be the magic number, as we encourage participants to slow down, lean into experiencing a new craft, enjoy their time together, and focus on quality over quantity. You will only be responsible for partial clean up - we will do the rest for you! Should you wish to keep what you make, one (1) finished work per person is included in the class price. However, additional pieces (up to 3 per person) can be finished for $10 per piece. This $10 firing fee for extra pieces kept, covers the cost associated with the extra labor, materials, and kiln space needed to finish these wares. That said, please note that the goal is to create and leave with one piece you enjoyed making, and look forward to utilizing at home. Additional pieces are not required to be purchased or kept, as the experience is intended to be all inclusive. Your chosen piece(s) will be cleaned up, glazed, and fired by us in the available color(s) of your choosing. By the time they are complete, they will be food, drink, microwave, dishwasher, and even oven safe! Your handcrafted work(s) of art will be finished and ready for pickup in 6 weeks (give or take)! This process is a labor of love, as we put just as much care into your work, as we do our own. BYOB friendly, for those 21+! __________ Session breakdown: * 15-20 min walkthrough of the ceramic process + demo * 50-60 min of wheel time (we will be there every step of the way) * 10-20 min for decorating, altering, + color selection
