You want to join a beginner pottery class but have never used a pottery wheel. Call the studio and ask three or four questions before registering.
Hello, I'd like to try your beginner pottery class, but as I've never worked with a pottery wheel, I have a few questions. Is the class suitable for someone with no experience at all? How long does one session last? Does the fee include the clay, tools, and finishing the piece afterward? When would I be able to collect what I make? I would probably come on a Saturday, and I don't mind starting with something simple. I'm mainly looking for a class where I can try the process without needing to buy my own equipment in advance. I saw photographs of bowls on your website, but I understand a first attempt may look quite different. A small group with time to ask questions would suit me better than a session focused mainly on producing a perfect object to take home.
