Learn the basics of setting up a pottery wheel to throw, the proper tools needed, how to prepare the clay through a process called "wedging," centering, throwing on the wheel and how to clean up.

We give a demonstration of how to throw a pot.  Next, we let you try by yourself for a short period of time.  Then we give assistance, as needed, to create your own piece which can literally exist forever (unless it is heated to 2500 fahrenheit:). You get to choose the glaze color of your piece.

This class qualifies a person to attend open studios and work independently. 

Materials and firing is covered in the cost for one piece (approximate maximum size-up to 6" tall x 6" width x 6" length).

Everyone keeps one piece. Additional pieces of equivalent size are $5 (covers material and firing costs).  These are paid for after the pottery session, if you create more than 1 piece you wish to keep.

Specialty Items are also available for additional cost.  These require additional time, material, and firing.

Pieces are kept at the studio for finish work, glazing and two kiln firings, and are picked up at a later date. When finished, everything is food-safe, dishwasher-safe, microwave-safe.

Ages 5+

Peoria native and professional entertainer STEPHEN WHITE returns to his hometown on Saturday February 24th for a one night only vocal cabaret show called 'Let Them See' at The Waterhouse in the MAXAM Building.

This original show takes inspiration from the empowering lyric in the song entitled "Words Fail" from the Tony award-winning musical 'Dear Evan Hansen'. Through music and stories Stephen explores self-discovery and embracing one's full potential, inviting all to witness the multifaceted essence of who we are meant to be in this world. Stephen's performance serves as a beacon of encouragement, echoing sentiments of empowerment and the courage to let others see the truest version of oneself as he weaves together songs from Disney composers, Pasek and Paul, Les Misérables, Smoky Joe’s Cafe, Jekyll & Hyde, and more!

Admission is $20pp and seating is reserved. The bar will open and seating will begin 1 hour before the show at 6:30p with the show starting at 7:30p. The performance will last approximately 75 minutes.

Tables seat 8 people and will be assigned based upon the order of purchase. If you are joining a larger group or want to be seated with another purchaser specifically, please indicate at the time of purchase in the "Notes to Seller" section who you would like to join.
