Kids 2-Day Wheel Workshop Ages 7+

Service Description

Kids ages 7 and up will learn how to throw pottery on the wheel and make their own cups, bowls, and pots! Unlimited open studio hours for greenware and glazing are included until October 20th. Make and keep up to 6 pots! SESSIONS 1 & 2 -- MAKE! Saturdays September 12th & 19th 3:00-5:00 This small group class of up to 5 students will meet on two Saturdays (9/12 & 9/19) for 2 hours of demonstrations, guided practice, independent practice, and clean-up. It is for beginners, but experienced kiddos are welcome! These 2 sessions on the potter's wheel cover the basics of throwing, including wedging, centering, opening, pulling, shaping, and managing greenware. A lesson about trimming pots and attaching handles may be added on for an additional $15 per child and must be scheduled within 1 week of throwing. RETURN TO GLAZE Schedule a glazing lesson 3-4 weeks after throwing on the wheel. Reserve your seats for the lesson on our website under GLAZE DAYS FOR NEW STUDENTS. Students may select from our collection of over 100 glazes! Glazing must be completed during Open Studio sessions, and all glazing must be completed by October 20th. PICK-UP DEADLINE: November 14th Due to the high quantity of projects created in our studio (hundreds each week!), projects not picked up by the deadline will be removed from the studio. NOTE: Students must be able to reach the pedal on the potter's wheel, pay close attention, follow directions well, and work/clean up independently. Parents are welcome to leave or remain in the studio, but seating cannot be guaranteed. NOTE: Bring a standard size towel and/or apron to protect clothing from clay. Sandpoint Ceramics does not provide these items due to high laundry demand. We're looking forward to getting your kiddos' hands in clay! Refunds or credits for cancellations within less than 24 hours will not be issued (this includes gift certificate value). Refunds or credits for cancellations within 3 days of the event will be limited to $30 per person unless we can fill your seat (this includes gift certificate value). Due to limited schedule availability, missed sessions will not be rescheduled, refunded, or credited.
