2hr wheel basics class
This one-off class is a great introduction to the art of throwing. Our qualified teacher will run you through a 2hour class in a relaxed and professional environment. You’ll be able to take home one of your creations included in the class price, once it has gone through the firing and glazing process (usually 3-4 weeks) or all of them if you choose. With a maximum class size of 8, the classes are lighthearted, unhurried and give each student plenty of support but also have the freedom to express your own creativity.
These classes are $79 per person, maximum of 8 per class. For ages 16+ and run every Saturday morning 10am-12pm, please email alkimiceramics@gmail.com if you have any questions.
