Ever wanted to try the pottery wheel but don’t know where to start? Here’s your chance to jump in and give it a spin!
In this playful, beginner-friendly class, you’ll learn how to center clay, open it up, and shape it into a basic cylinder. The wheel has a mind of its own, and that’s part of the fun. Expect a little wobble, a little mess, and plenty of laughter along the way.
No experience needed, just curiosity and a willingness to get your hands muddy. In this class your hands will get muddy, you will practice, practice and practice again but you will not make a finished piece. It’s the perfect way to discover if you want to explore the world of wheel-throwing further.

About the instructor:
Janice Gaines-Ehlen became passionate about clay in 2017 while still working as a fitness trainer and massage therapist. After selling her business in 2021, she applied her life-long habits of laser focus, hard work and lots of practice to fully embrace ceramics. She now throws on the wheel, does hand-building of all types and enjoys sharing the joy of ceramics with others. Students from past classes praise her ability to assess and coach students, regardless of their experience level, to improve technique and more fully enjoy ceramic art.
