Wheel Throwing in Seattle

Hey everyone!
I'm new to this list so I apologize for any faux pas.

I looked through the archives, but only found relative discussions
from 1997 - 2000.

I am looking for a place to do wheel-throwing - whether it be through
classes or by joining a studio. I mostly just want to make my own
stuff and be able to take it home with me. Does anyone have any
recommendations for the Seattle area circa 2007? I know nothing about
the science of glazes or kiln operation, I just want to make stuff!

THANKS!

We even have classes here in Alabama so you should be in fine shape there
looking for a community or regular college. At my age, I can get the class
free! So check into it! Best, Sue

I sugget that you go to Seattle Pottery Supply and talk to them. They
know what they're doing and are good people, in my experience.

If you want a specific name to talk to who's an experienced and expert
potter who taught me all of the most important stuff I know, e-mail me
directly at spunkythetuna at earthlink dot net.

I know there's quite a few good places to do that, but I don't know
the name of it. However, if you're ever in charlotte, NC, Stretch's
Gallery is THE place to go! www.stretchgallery.com Happy potting!

Hi there,

I am located in Everett but I am aware of some stuff around Seattle.

As someone else mentioned try Seattle Pottery Supply.
Also try Pottery Northwest (http://www.potterynorthwest.org/)
I believe all the local community colleges offer classes.

Ask around, someone will know somebody with studio space for rent.

Good luck =)

Check out the Washington Potters' Association website:
http://www.washingtonpotters.org/WPAlinks.htm

As someone already mentioned, Pottery Northwest is a great place to
take classes. The class schedule for the spring session is out today:
http://potterynorthwest.org/

Also check out Seward park. There is one more studio in Pioneer
square, although the name escapes me.

HTH,
