Course Description

Whether new to the wheel, or a graduate of our other clay programs, there’s something to gain for every level in this well- rounded course. Beginners will learn how to position on the wheel, build walls, and bring an imagined form to 3D reality. Further technique is learned as students choose from our selection of glazes to paint solid, patterned, or textured pieces with various surface treatments.

Wheelthrowing can be very messy so please dress accordingly-short sleeves recommended. Feel free to bring an apron.

*Thanks to a generous donation from The Nantucket Golf Club Foundation, youth class tuition is discounted 25%. (Discount automatically applied at checkout)
