Beginner Wheel Evening Workshop with Jessica Batson

Discover the joy of working with clay in this hands-on, beginner-friendly ceramics workshop led by local artist and CAA Pottery Studio lead instructor Jessica Batson. Designed for those new to the pottery wheel, this series, hosted over four evenings, will introduce you to the foundational techniques of wheel-throwing in a fun and supportive setting.

Spend your summer evenings unwinding in the pottery studio, connecting with fellow creatives, and enjoying the calming, hands-on process of transforming clay into functional works of art.

Over the first two sessions, you’ll learn the basics of centering, pulling, and shaping clay to create your own mugs and bowls. Day three will focus on trimming, surface decoration, and refining your pieces. On the final day, you'll dive into the glazing process, preparing your bisque-fired work for its final transformation in the kiln.
