Sisters and potters, Katie and Joelle White will give you an introductory lesson in how to throw clay pots on a spinning potter’s wheel. Once you’ve learned to control the lump of clay centered on the wheel, you’ll have a lifetime skill. This is a class just for learning that essential skill. You will leave with the know-how to make pottery in the future. If you’d like anything fired, a firing and shipping fee will be applied.
Class size 5
Level Beginner and above
This workshop requires a Woodlanders Day Fee. Learn more here.
Joelle has been throwing pottery for 10 years. She studied at UW-Platteville in 2008-11, acquiring a biology and art background. After graduation she developed a love for the wood-fired pottery process and enjoys decorating the surfaces of her functional pots with floral designs.
