Wheel Throwing with Kristen - Tuesday Evenings- week 1/5
THIS CLASS BEGINS MAY 19TH AND RUNS UNTIL JULY 28TH-AUGUST 25TH, 6-9pm TUESDAY NIGHTS FOR 5 WEEKS. Make up classes are available if needed! Chat with your instructor about this to plan a make up class.
This ceramics class is tailored for all skill levels, ages 18+. We will be delving into the world of wheel throwing for four weeks, and glazing on the fifth. I like to introduce hand building activities as well, so every student can get the most out of this class- regardless of your experience on the wheel.
Our studio is wonderful for hands on instruction and guidance. Come let out stress, and find your creative flow. Weekly sessions run 3 hours long, every Tuesday evening from 6pm-9pm. You will get to learn the entire process, and take everything home glazed and finished once the class is done!
Each student will be given all the tools necessary to be successful in the class, one 25lb bag of clay, access to all the student glazes and firings; and most of all, our hands on, one to one help throughout the class. Our goal is to make sure everyone grows at their own pace. We will be there along side each student for guidance as needed, so that you can create exactly what your heart desires.

RAKU DATE DAY! 7/19/26
Explore the wonders of raku firing!
This unique date night will create memories and pottery that lasts a lifetime.
This event will be held in Tumalo Bend, on a beautiful property with views of the mountains! You wont want to miss out on this amazing experience. This Raku day will take place from 10am-2ish pm , Sunday July 19th!
Choose two vessels each to glaze- each person will be able to select from a variety of shapes! (Thrown and Trimmed and bisque fired by Sydney). After glazing, we place pots into the kiln, and let the magic of raku take over. Each firing takes approximately 45 minutes- 1 hour. Enjoy the nature, music, a walk around the property, yard games, charcuterie, beverages and mingling while the kiln heats up! Then we pull from the kiln... the really fun part!
Raku firing: We remove the pottery from a gas powered kiln with large tongs, place them into a trash can with combustibles, and watch the magic happen! Raku is an ancient form of firing, that will make you feel connected to your pieces on a deeper level than a normal electric kiln firing. The pieces are not food safe- typically we make vases, planters and other decoration pieces.
This class is designed for adults, no clay experience needed!
We will clean the pots up after firing, and create a unique flower arrangement from the dry flowers to fill your vessel.
Each person can expect to walk away from the class with 1-2 beautiful and unique pieces of pottery.
TICKETS SOLD AS PAIRS! ($150 per person). Larger groups are more than welcome to join as well. Contact us via email if you wish to get 3 or 5 tickets and we can send an invoice for an additional spot if wanted.
Please contact us if you have any questions! We cant wait to RAKU with YOU!
If you sign up, the address will be sent to you prior to the event.
