Intro to Pottery Class for Adults | Peaceful Potter, Wilkes-Barre
Thursdays, March 5, 12, 19 & 26, 2026 | 6:00–8:00 PM
Intro to Pottery Class for Adults at Peaceful Potter in Wilkes-Barre meets on Thursday evenings, March 5, 12, 19 and 26, 2026, from 6:00 to 8:00 PM, offering beginners a guided introduction to working with clay. This four-week series is designed for adults who want to experience both handbuilding and the pottery wheel in a relaxed studio setting.
The first class focuses on the basics of handbuilding, where students learn foundational techniques to create simple, functional forms. Over the next three weeks, the class shifts to the pottery wheel, giving participants step-by-step instruction in centering clay, pulling walls and shaping basic vessels.
Two weeks after the final session, students return on a weekend at their leisure to glaze their fired pieces. All finished items made in this class will be microwave and dishwasher safe, making them both practical and enjoyable to use at home.
Students are required to have or purchase a pottery tool kit, which should include basic throwing tools, a one-gallon bucket, a towel and a car wash sponge for cleanup.
