Saturday Morning Wheel Throwing
If you've ever wanted to learn to throw clay on a pottery wheel this is your chance! Craft Alliance offers this Saturday morning class once a month for ages 8 and up in which participants can watch a pottery wheel demonstration then try to throw clay on a wheel themselves.
It's both fun and challenging to throw clay on a pottery wheel, and this class will teach you how to turn clay into a cylinder or bowl shape. You'll then glaze your creation and pick it up two weeks later after it's been fired in the kiln.
