The Potter's Wheel for Beginners, with Holly Heaslip

Presented by the Cultural Center of Cape Cod on six Wednesdays, beginning May 19, from 1:30-4pm. Have you ever been mesmerized while watching a pot being made on the wheel? Want to give it a try? All that’s needed is a playful attitude and patience! In this class we will cover the basics of making pottery on the wheel: wedging, trimming, glazing, and firing. You will gain an understanding of the process, equipment involved, and the magical material called “clay.” Come start a new chapter in your creative life! Demonstrations, individualized instruction and plenty of hands-on time round out our class.  Books, handouts, and examples of pottery will be available to reinforce lessons. All tools, materials, and firings are provided. CDC guidelines, including mask wearing and social distancing, will be observed. $250/$210 for members.
