Open Studio
Taken a class? Been doing pottery for years but don’t want the mess at home? Come to The Wheel Works for Open Studio! Open studio is available to anyone with a membership. Two oversized building tables and up to 14 wheels (when classes aren’t running which takes 6) available to all members including all of the luxury tools that the Wheel Works carries so to make your time count for every minute. Create like the pros or at your own pace, it is up to you!
Extruder, slab rollers and GR Pottery forms, Oh my!
Open Studio is $12/hour. Clay is on top of the cost but, we have that here and in small quantities so you can get what you need so you don’t have to store it.
Wednesday Workshop
In a funk? Need some inspiration? Come for workshops and learn new techniques, get better at trimming, and “what does this tool do?”. Workshops run 6 pm - 8 pm where there is a 1 hour prep, demo, & question period followed by 1 hour where you can practice with guidance from the instructor. See our social media for upcoming workshop topics or click the button below! $35.99+HST per person for the evening.
Glaze Club
Glaze mixing can be daunting and exasperating. Come to the glaze club to hear from other potters on what glazes they are working on or wanting to try. Test glazes from members and potters that you can try and bring home with you. While glaze chemistry is more for the intermediate potter, everyone is welcome to come and participate. All you need is a membership. Attendance is free, donation appreciated for any glaze tests provided. We typically hold a glaze club meeting on the last Sunday of the month, please see our social media or studio community board for updates.
Pottery Classes
Beginner Class
Never thrown before? Taken a class or two but need more help? Pottery for beginners will help you learn how to center, pull and trim in no time! Our instructors are very patient and enjoy teaching, there is no such thing as a stupid question. This class comes with a free membership upon completion of the full course.
Pottery Class
Intermediate & Advanced Classes
Need some time with an instructor to help with your skills? Done the beginners class and ready to move to the next level? Than these classes are for you. With only 6 students in a class, it is much easier to provide one-on-one attention to each of you. Improve throwing skills, tips and tricks to throwing larger, thinner and more consistent.
Date Night at The Wheel Works
Just an all around fun night out for everyone! Must have a sense of humor and be willing to get messy. Follow some crazy instructions and work together to create (or not) a ceramic piece of your own to bring home and say - we made that! Playing and being silly is part of a great relationship. Open to everyone, no membership required.
