Adult Classes

WheelCraft Studio offers 6-week adult art classes in pottery, painting, stained glass, printmaking, mixed media, and more — designed for beginners and returning students (ages 16+) who want to build real skill, not just finish a craft project. Each session runs for 6 weeks, with small class sizes and instruction from experienced local art educators.

Classes are currently running August-September. All supplies and materials are included in the price. Click on the menu or photo below for detailed information on each class. Registration and payment are handled through the 24hr Pottery app when you click on the sign up link or class picture.

This 6-week course leaves you with hands-on wheel experience, a small collection of finished pottery, and the skills to continue your pottery journey through a studio membership or additional pottery classes.

  • $360 all materials included.

Art Class FAQ

  • When you book, the date and time shown (like August 17th, 7:00 PM) is your first class session — and it locks in your day of the week for the whole session. So "August 17th" means your class meets every Monday at 7:00 PM for all 6 weeks.

  • Nope! Tuition is a one-time cost and includes all materials — just show up ready to create.

  • No worries! If you miss a session, you can make it up by attending another class time offered the week before or after. If needed, we'll also offer an extra makeup session during week 7.

  • Absolutely! Retaking a class is a great way to grow — you'll get to interpret the same projects in new, creative ways instead of just repeating them. And if you've fallen in love with your medium and are ready to work more independently, we offer memberships for painting, glass, and pottery. Memberships give you full access to the studio anytime to work on your own projects at your own pace. Members also get discounts on taking classes and workshops at WheelCraft. View our memberships page to learn more.
