Mini Wheel Experience!
Saturday, February 21st 11am-12:30pm
$40/person
We’re rolling out something brand new at Wrenworks: a Mini Wheel Pottery Class using our new mini wheels from Small Ceramics —and yep, this is not something you see every day around here.
In this hands-on workshop, you’ll start with a live demo, then hop on your own mini wheel to create up to three small ceramic pieces of your own. Think espresso, shot or sake cups, bowls, or 'furnish your barbie dream house' kind of pottery.
No experience no problem! We're all beginners at the Mini Wheel!
You’ll choose your glaze color during class, and we’ll handle the glazing and firing for you.
Ages 17+
$40 all inclusive; you'll leave with three masterpieces created by you!
*Pick up three weeks later
Perfect for anyone who wants to try something totally different!
