Beginning Pottery Class

Come on down to Fired Up Studios in Golden Valley, MN for an 8 week beginning pottery class. This class is designed for those who have never worked on a pottery wheel or who just want to brush up on their skills. Students who know the basics but prefer to continue working with an instructor are also welcome. Class meets once a week for 2.5 hours where you will learn the basics of wedging, centering, pulling, trimming, glazing, hand-building, and basic studio etiquette. Included in the cost is everything you need while you are in class; basic pottery tools, buckets, towels, and one 25 lb. bag of clay. More clay can be purchased at $20/bag if you would like.
