KIDS POTTERY WHEEL 

(ages 9 -13) Give the potter’s wheel a spin! This class is a great chance to try out a new skill. Students will learn the basics of throwing, trimming, and decorating pottery in this 6-week class. 


ArtsConnect offers two Kids Wheel classes, Intro and Wheel 2.  Kids Intro Wheel class is where all students should begin. Throwing on the wheel can be challenging for young and old and takes lots of practice.  Once students have mastered centering and working independently they can then move up to the Kids Wheel 2 class.  The instructor can recommend whether your child is ready to move up. 


Both classes are held on Tuesdays:  

Kids Intro Wheel:  4:15 - 6:15 pm

Kids Wheel 2:  6:30 - 8:30 pm


COVID Saftey Standards: Students wear masks, pottery wheels are 6 ft apart and sanitized before and after each class. ArtsConnect Springfield Community Arts Center is located at, 9158 Winton Rd, Building A, behind the fire station.
