Kids will experience what it’s like to jump on the wheel and throw with clay. They will learn the basic mechanics of throwing clay on the wheel.
Techniques and methods will be shared and discussed and put into practice with words and hand gestures that make sense to kids so they understand the steps. The special thing about this class is that kids will get to paint their pot as the wheel spins with our range of underglazes!
The vessels created will then have a translucent glaze added to them to make it food safe and dishwasher safe. The turnaround time for finished pots is about 4-6 weeks.
This class is a calming and enjoyable experience for kids. 1 parent is required to sit in per 2 children.
Please note that children aged 12 and over are welcome to attend the class on their own. For children under 12, a parent or guardian must attend and provide supervision as well.
