Once a week for six weeks, in 2½-hour sessions. Current times: Tuesdays at 3:30 pm, Wednesdays at 12:30 pm, Thursdays at 3:30 pm.
Does my teen need any experience?
No. Beginners start from centering; teens who already throw work on their own goals with instructor guidance. All levels are welcome.

The class is $299.99 and includes six 2½-hour sessions, studio tools, about 12 lb of clay, and firing and glazing for class projects. More clay is available to buy.
Is it a good fit for homeschool families?
That is who the daytime sessions are for. Teens work with the same group and instructor every week and come away with finished pieces.
Can parents take a class too?
Yes. The adult six-week wheel-throwing class ($299) runs at its own times, including weekday evenings and Saturday mornings.
