Wheel throwing for beginners starts June 5 at Rehoboth Art League

Release an inner artist and develop a new skill with the potter's wheel.  This is the perfect class to introduce oneself to wheel throwing.  Wheel Throwing for Beginner Potters at the Rehoboth Art League is a series of six classes scheduled Wednesday nights, June 5 through July 10 from 7 to 9 p.m.  

Local potter Jeff Stickle will teach participants the basics of the wheel, centering, opening, and pulling up to create the basic wheel form - the cylinder.  Learn to trim and glaze the work to leave the class with a first piece of pottery.  The cost is $175 per person for members and $210 per person for nonmembers.  The registration fee includes the cost of clay, and the bisque firing and glazing of pieces.  Expect to get messy, be challenged, and leave with a new skill set.
