This class is ongoing through out the year; times vary.

Instructor: Linea Pay
Class held at: Wild Womyn Studio

This is a beginner's class.
After the first week of classes the first class will be for throwing and the second consecutive class day will be for trimming and finishing your work. The first class of each week will be 1-1/2 hours long and the second day will be approximately 1-1/4 hour.

Be sure to wear old clothes and shoes because you will get clay on you. Extra wheel time is $20 per hour, providing your own clay. (I usually have extra bags of clay for purchase.)
