Class Description
3-week Summer Mini Wheel Workshop Curious about the wheel but not ready to commit to a full course? This three-session summer workshop gives you a real taste of the entire pottery process — from a lump of clay to finished, glazed pieces. In your first session (3 hours), you'll learn to centre, open, and pull on the potter's wheel — the foundation of wheel throwing. The second session (2 hours) trim them into shape and add any decorative touches, like handles or flowers. In your final session, you'll choose your glazes and finish your work before it goes into the kiln. Three evenings. One complete pottery journey. TEENS WELCOME! Minimum enrolment required for the class to proceed. We are a scent-free environment.

Cancellation Policy
Studio Policies Students are not permitted to load, unload, or operate pottery kilns. Keep hair tied back for safety. Avoid wearing loose articles of clothing or jewelry that could pose hazards. Closed-toe and closed-heel footwear must be worn in the pottery studio. Do not operate any equipment without the presence of an instructor. We are a scent-free environment. All completed work must be collected from Ford City Potters within 6 weeks after the final class, once you're notified by email. Work will not be stored after 6 weeks. Students are expected to arrive on time for each class to ensure the smooth running of the session. Late arrivals cannot make up for lost time. For whatever reason, if Ford City Potters must cancel a session or class, students will be notified via email, and a full refund will be issued. Classes must be paid in full upon registering on the website (credit card or PayPal accepted). Classes are non-refundable. Makeup days are possible only for glazing days, and only if a space is open in another class. Students are expected to maintain a respectful and inclusive environment in the classroom, treating the instructor and fellow participants with courtesy and consideration. Zero tolerance for disruptive or disrespectful behaviour. In other words, be kind at all times.
