Friday Morning Clay
A relaxed intro to wheel throwing for those who like their mornings slow and schedules flexible
Service Description
Friday mornings (10am–12:30pm) Life doesn't always run on a 9-to-5, and neither do we. Whether you're retired and looking for a creative weekly ritual, working in the service industry with weekday mornings free, freelancing on your own schedule, or just someone who can't make a weeknight work, Friday Morning Clay is your spot. Same beloved intro curriculum as our evening classes: wheel throwing, trimming, handbuilding, surface design, and glazing, but with a more relaxed pace, smaller class size, and the kind of unhurried energy that a Friday morning deserves. You'll leave with real skills, finished glazed work, and maybe a new favorite part of your week. All levels welcome. No experience needed. Week 1: Throwing & Studio Basics Get acquainted with the studio, the clay, and each other. We'll cover centering, opening, and pulling walls, then spend plenty of time just throwing. Week 2: Trimming & Shaping Learn to read your clay at different stages and trim a clean foot ring. More throwing, more practice, no rush. Week 3: Form Refinement & Handles Refine your silhouettes, continue trimming and explore handle options: pulled, coil, slab, and altered. Week 4: Hand Building & Surface Design A change of pace with pinch, coil, and slab building, plus an intro to surface decoration techniques like underglaze and sgraffito. Week 5: Final Trimming & Glaze Prep Wrap up trimming and surface work, then get introduced to glazing: dipping, pouring, brushing, and wax resist. Week 6: Glazing & Send Off Finish glazing your work, ask your last questions, and celebrate what you made.
