Wheel Throwing Fundamentals - Beginner to Advanced (mornings)

This class will provide an introduction to the Jamestown Art Center Ceramics Studio and the basics of working on the potter’s wheel. It will cover the essential elements of completing ceramic objects on the wheel including wedging, throwing, trimming, glazing and firing. There will be an emphasis on the necessary timing of each step as well as good working habits within our shared studio. Whether you want to learn the wheel for the first time, brush up on your skills, or learn more advanced techniques, this class is for you! Demonstrations and guidance will be provided for all skill levels.

Students must purchase clay directly from the JAC to use in the class. The cost is $45 per 25 lb bag and includes all glazing and firing service fees. Any clay purchased elsewhere cannot be fired at JAC. Unlimited access to the ceramics studio during Open Studio Hours is included for the duration of the class.

Scholarships available! Please contact melinda@jamestownartcenter.org for more information.
