Sit with Ariana, a full-time potter and experienced teacher who specializes in connecting beginners to this new craft in a manageable and peaceful way. Students wanting to refresh their skills are also welcome. This class will focus on techniques that are straightforward and effective, with the goal of getting students able to confidently create work of their own upon leaving the classroom.

Students will learn the fundamentals of wheel throwing with basic techniques and forms, including throwing each basic shape in this class–a basic cup, bowl, plate and a vase.

Projects will be ready to pick up 1-2 weeks after the last class.

Beginners welcome. Ages 16+ years

San Diego Craft Collective, 2590 Truxtun Rd., Studio 106, SD 92106 • 619.273.3235 • make@sandiegocraft.org

This course is held indoors, so we suggest:
• Dress in layers and bring a jacket so you can adjust to the studio temperature.
• Bring water/beverage.
• Wear closed-toe shoes. Dropping tools on feet really hurts!
• Bring an apron + wear comfortable clothes that can get messy. You may also buy an apron from our studio.

DIRECTIONS: Located in Liberty Station’s Arts District, you can find our studio at the end of the hallway on the 1st floor of the Dorothea Laub Music & Arts Center (Bldg 176) at the corner of Roosevelt & Truxtun, next to The Lot movie theater. There is plenty of free parking. Parking Lot Q is behind our studio — enter via the driveway off Dewey. Across the street in the Vons parking lot, it is also free. If you can’t find us, call or text 619.273.3235.

CLASS SIZE: 3 min. If the minimum is not met, you will receive a full refund or credit toward another class.

REFUNDS: No refunds for tardiness or no-shows. For a refund (minus a 5% processing fee), you must cancel 7 days before the start of the class. After 7 days, we cannot offer refunds, as materials and supplies have already been purchased.

TRANSFERS: You may transfer your enrollment spot to someone else, but transfers must happen before the workshop begins. Please email us to let us know who’s coming.

INTEREST LIST: If a class is full or you would like to be notified of future offerings, join our Interest List to be notified when new dates or spaces are available.
