Adult Beginner Wheel Throwing, Erik Franzen 2025-2026

by

Erik Franzen  B
Wednesdays 5:30-8:30

Wheel throwing attracts students who particularly like symmetrically round objects and challenges them to learn how to control the development of a particular form. The basic steps for throwing will be the focus for beginners, while more advanced students will be challenged by more complex forms and techniques, which will lead to all students achieving success through practice. Students will also explore the myriad ways to apply glazes. Bring your own tools or purchase a kit at the front desk. Class fee includes 25 lbs. of clay, firing, and in-studio glazing.

Wednesdays,  1:00-3:30

If you have never painted on silk before, you need to give it a try! The colors are so bright & bold and the process is addictive. The theme is of your choosing. I can help you with that. No previous experience necessary. Each session is 4 weeks long. To help with supply costs of the class, I offer a kit which includes everything you need to complete a 22×22 inch project. See class material for details.
