Dive into the learning process of making wheel-thrown pottery. Class participants will learn vocabulary terms that submerge them into understanding ceramics while getting to put those words into action. Students will make vessels of different shapes and sizes starting with shallow bowls and from there going up in height and out in width. Enjoy lots of practice that builds up to making pieces you are proud to glaze and take home.
One 25 lb bag of clay is included in the class fee. Additional bags of clay available for $20. All other supplies and tools are included in class cost.

Elizabeth is wonderful. She knows her stuff and introduced drawing concepts in understandable, beginner-friendly ways. Having pencils and erasers provided was also valuable to try things out I wouldn’t have wanted to buy myself before knowing what they did and why I’d need them.
Improvements:
Class could be 1.5 hours.

Completely tailored to my child’s interest and goals! Gena doesn’t just go through the motions of teaching drawing technique. She brings in ideas specific to my child’s goals. And she is great about motivating and inspiring the creative process with different techniques, including addressing how to cultivate a mindset of creativity, daily habits and practices, and a focus on building skills and techniques. She’s great with my teenager! Very calm but fun! Highly recommend.
Improvements:
Move the center closer to Austin so it’s not as far from us! 😉
