Wheel throwing for the complete beginner! Learn to wedge clay, center it on the wheel, and shape it into a basic bowl or cup. We'll focus on basic finishing skills, like trimming and glazing. Leave the class with a completed piece and ceramics techniques and vocabulary that will give you the confidence to work independently in the studio!

There is a materials/firing fee is for every 25 lbs (sleeve) of clay used. This fee goes towards glaze materials and firing costs (fuel, electricity, etc). Choose from white, red, porcelain or reclaimed (mix of camp and white) clay. More clay can be purchased if needed.
Due to the rise in cost from the supplier, Berkshire Art Center has raised the price of clay as of 9/21/2023.
NOTE: Porcelain Clay is currently out of stock as of November 5th, 2024.
