Registration opens 1 month in advance.

***NO LONG NAILS*** (Nails must be trimmed before class. The shorter the better as nails get caught on the clay)

Are you interested in learning how to throw pottery on the wheel?? Or are you looking for some hands on learning/refining of your skills with some extra help from Frances? Well look no further! We have got you covered at Great River Arts in Little Falls!

Throwing 101 is offered monthly, on select Fridays each month (Both are identical 1.5 hour long classes, one from 2:30-4pm & the next at 4:30-6pm) In each class we will go over some of the basics of clay, the 4 main steps of throwing, as well as tips and tricks along the way. 

There is no trimming portion of the class. The goal of Throwing 101 is to learn through the practice of doing. Each participant will be given three 1# balls of clay. If you choose to keep any pieces, you're welcome to glaze/fire pieces via a day pass or as a part of our monthly Pottery Painting ($5 per piece to cover glazes and firing).

What to bring

• comfortable (warm in the winter) clothes/pants - you gotta be able to straddle the wheel
• Hair tie if you have long hair
• Short finger nails

You will get clay on your clothes but it 1000% comes out in the wash

There is a class limit of 6 people - pre registration is required. Ages 8 and up are welcome to join.

Wanting more clay? You may purchase - $1/pound

Wanting more time in the studio? You may purchase a daily studio pass or save when buying 5 or 10 on a punch pass!
