Pottery – Unwine Weekdays 2020                     

Come unwind with a glass of wine and have a therapeutic evening of art. If you’re new to the wheel you will learn the basics of wedging, centering, and throwing a piece on the wheel. If you already have experience you can refresh your memory and get back into the swing of it. You’ll also have the opportunity for hand building, using the slab roller and the extruder to create beautiful pieces of art, anything from bowls and cups to jewelry and much more!**Surgeon Potter’s Warning** Consumption of alcoholic beverages impairs your ability to drive a car or operate machinery such as the potter’s wheel. Impaired judgement may cause your pots to look better than they actually are, and decrease success rates in throwing on the wheel. Please drink responsibly
