Want to elevate the surface of your pots? In this 8-week wheel-throwing class, you'll explore how surface design can deepen the visual and narrative impact of your ceramic work. We'll dive into techniques like sgraffito, mishima, underglaze painting, and more to approach the pot as both functional object and storytelling canvas. This class is beginner-friendly and includes instruction in the core skills of wheel throwing with projects focused on creating cups, bowls, and plates. For returning students, it's a perfect opportunity to strengthen your throwing ability while pushing your creative boundaries through surface experimentation! Whether you're new to clay or looking to add depth and meaning to your forms, come ready to get messy, get thoughtful, and give your pots a voice!

No experience necessary, just be ready to laugh, paint, and maybe share a few mimosas. Whether you are just getting your feet wet or an experienced painter, come and spend your Friday Evening at the Reeves House! 

Bring your friends and we’ll provide the canvases, paints, and paintbrushes as we guide you through creating your own masterpiece. There’s sure to be lots of giggles and a few Monets in the making.

And to add to the fun, make sure to grab a glass of wine at the counter to enjoy while painting!
