8-Week Adult Wheel Throwing

Learn to make pots on a wheel, or advance your skills. Taught by Katie Montovan.

In this 8-week class for adults, learn to make pots on a wheel, or advance your skills. This class will cover all the basics and will meet participants where they are with lessons on advanced topics to meet interest. Learn to make functional or decorative cups, bowls, vases, and mugs with handles. Or come in with your own goal and we can work to get there! We will also cover wedging clay, centering, trimming, glazing, centering larger amounts of clay, adding texture, altering forms, and clay reuse/recycling. Prior clay experience is helpful but not required.

Included in the price of this class is 25lbs of clay with more available for purchase if needed, glazes and firings.

Also included with the purchase of this class is student access to this session's self guided Clay Labs where current students will be able to hone skills and work on projects. Labs will not have an instructor but will be monitored. Clay Labs will be Wednesdays from 5-8pm and from April 27th to June 15th.

Katie is an artist, mathematician, and experiential educator with two decades of experience in all of those areas. She is both a painter and a ceramic potter. On the wheel she makes a variety of functional work and often manipulates the forms, adds hand built parts, and interesting textures. As a teacher, she focuses on providing enough structure and guidance to motivate, challenge, and support students and provides plenty of room for students to play and find their own way to make the work their own!
