Children and Teen Pottery Wheel Classes

The Painted Pot offers Handbuilding/Sculpture and Wheel pottery classes for children ages 5 years through 16 years old. Our classes are small and intimate, which will provide an environment to encourage your child's creative self-expression in clay. This program will expose children to an actual working pottery studio where they will use the wheel, handbuilding, glazing and other pottery making methods. Students explore handbuilding construction techniques, experiment with shapes and texture as well as try basic techniques for throwing cylinders and bowls on the wheel. Children with previous experience will be challenged with advanced pottery techniques. All classes are taught by our accomplished artist/teachers. One to one attention will be given to each student.
