Join us in the land of miniatures. You will learn how to throw pottery on a mini wheel and no previous pottery experience is necessary! This is a great way to try wheel throwing and learn how to center clay that is less intimidating and less commitment, and if you love it and want to learn more, the Craft Collective has a variety of weekday evening and weekend full-size ceramic wheel classes to choose from! 

In this 2-hour class, you will watch step-by-step how to use a mini wheel and will learn how to center the clay and open it up to form tiny pots, bowls, or plates. You will create 1-3 tiny pots over the class period. This class is a great way to learn the basics of a wheel on a small scale. It is also a small class setting, so you can get personalized one-on-one support. At the end of the class you can choose glaze colors, and once your pieces have dried a bit, they will be smoothed, trimmed, glazed and fired for you.  Grab a friend or family member who’s been curious about ceramics and come join me in creating tiny pottery! Projects will be ready to pick up 3-4 weeks after class.

No experience necessary. Ages 12+ welcome!
We recommend that each student bring an apron to wear and an older towel or a cloth rag.

    Gracie was a wonderful, patient teacher. We were a group of 6 total beginners (adults) and we had such a great time! I could have stayed even longer. Now that I’ve had a chance to learn some basics, I would love to try more throwing. Maybe there are even more and larger pots in my future. Great class – thanks, Gracie!
