Our Taster Classes are designed just for that—a short, fun, hands-on experience with no strings attached. In this 2-hour session, you’ll get your hands muddy learning the basics of centering and shaping clay on the wheel or the fundamental techniques of creating clay pieces with your hands. These classes are all about play and exploration—not production—so you won’t be making a finished piece to take home. Instead, you’ll simply enjoy the process of working with clay and seeing what happens. Perfect for those who’ve never touched clay before, or for anyone wanting to reconnect without committing to a 6-week series. Think of it as a creative “taste test” to see if the wheel is calling you. Includes: free clay Use of studio machinery, tools and equipment 2 hour class session in studio, meet new people, and ask your instructor questions while practicing!
