SATURDAY, JANUARY 17, 2026 from 11 am-12 pm.
Curious about the potter’s wheel but not ready to commit to a full class? This relaxed, no-pressure workshop is the perfect way to try it out.
We’ll start with a short demonstration covering the basics of throwing on the wheel. After that, the rest of the hour is yours to play, explore, and get a feel for the clay at your own pace. This is a beginner-friendly experience—no prior experience needed.
Each participant will have 3 lbs of clay to work with. If you create a piece you’d like to keep, one glazed piece is included in the cost of the class. Additional pieces may be made for $10 per piece. You’ll choose your glaze color, and we will take care of glazing and firing for you.
Finished pieces will be ready for pickup approximately 4 weeks after the class is held during open studio hours on Thursdays. Pieces need to dry, fired, glazed and then fired again. A text will be sent when ready, so please be sure to include a correct phone number.
Come get your hands dirty, try something new, and see if the potter’s wheel is right for you! Email us at mail@ealonline.org with questions.
Location: Elkhart Art League Studio, 132 Tyler Street, #1B, Elkhart IN 46516 in the west end of the Depot Building south of the Elkhart Post Office.
Cost: Members $50; Non-members $60 for the workshop. Membership is $30 for students and senior citizens over 60 years and $50 for adults. That will run for one calendar year from when you join.
Class included all instruction, stoneware clay, glaze, and firing.
CLASS SIZE IS STRICTLY LIMITED TO 8 STUDENTS DUE TO THE NUMBER OF POTTERY WHEELS IN THE STUDIO.
