Beginner Wheel Pottery with Paul Sirofchuck 

7 Thursdays | April 9, 16, 23, 30, May 7, 14 & 21 | 5:30 - 8 PM 

• Weeks 1-5 - Instructor Paul Sirofchuck will teach you the basics of centering on the wheel and cover beginner throwing and trimming techniques. You'll explore ceramic forms as you make cups, bowls, small plates & other vessels, alter thrown pieces, and make & attach handles to mugs or pots. (Please note that this is a "wheel only" course. If you are looking to hand-build, check out our other offerings!) This class is also perfect if you've already taken a wheel pottery class (here or elsewhere) but would like to review and expand your beginner techniques. 
• Week 6 - After the 5th wheel session, you will have a 6th session to finish up work from previous sessions to prep for a bisque-firing (first firing) in our kiln. During this session, Mandy Sirofchuck will also instruct on the glazing process that will occur in the 7th session. As a group, you will select the glazes to be used in week 7. 
• Week 7 - The 7th session will consist of glazing bisqued pieces. They'll then be fired and ready for pickup, typically in about 2 weeks!
