NEW! Beginner Wheel Pottery I

with Alexis Dillon

4 Wednesdays | February 11, 18, 25, & March 4 | 10 AM - 12:30 PM

For those new to pottery, we’ve revised our original Beginner Wheel Pottery to run in 4 week sessions, 2 1/2 hours each, making it easier to fit it into your schedule and keep it affordable. You’ll get to know the studio, tools, our equipment, the wheel, the clay, and the foundational techniques every potter starts with, from centering clay to forming simple forms like cups, bowls and plates. Tools provided and 12 lbs of clay included with tuition. (Additional clay is available for purchase if needed.) We will bisque fire your work, glaze it and glaze fire it. Glazing is taught in our Beginner Wheel Pottery II.

Attend one four week session, but we must warn you: pottery is incredibly addictive and you will probably want to attend more than one time, or check out our Beginner Wheel II.

Specifics:

$160 includes 12lbs of clay and use of tools

This class is perfect for you if:

• You have little to no pottery experience

• You want to try something creative without a long-term commitment

• You’re looking for more than just a Try-It session (also available)

• You want step-by-step instruction and a supportive teaching style

• You want to truly understand how pottery works from throwing to trimming

• You’re excited to create your very first handmade masterpieces!

Please Note:

Tuition is due with registration unless other arrangements are made. If you cancel 0-7 days before the class start date, we are able to refund your tuition ONLY if we can fill your space from our waitlist. We are not able to issue partial refunds or transfer your registration to another class. We apologize for any inconvenience, but we cannot under ANY circumstances refund your tuition once you have started the classes.
Art is a messy business! Please bring an apron or wear work clothes and shoes that can get dirty with clay/paint/etc.
Bring a hair tie if you have long hair.
Leave your rings, smartwatches, and jewelry at home. Main Exhibit Gallery & Art Center is not responsible for lost or damaged personal items.
We ask that you pick up your pots within 2 weeks of your notification that they're ready. We have so many classes that our space can get quite full with students' work! Any pots left behind after 2 weeks without prior arrangements will be added to our "Adopt a Pot" shelf in our main gallery space.
This is a wheel-only course. If you're interested in working with clay slabs or hand-building, check our our other options in ceramics!

Thank you for registering!

All workshops are held at Main Exhibit Gallery’s fully-accessible Art Center.

Entrance located at the lower level rear of the building at 301 West Main Street, Ligonier, PA.
