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. -- StT I sure do miss Seattle... |

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! warmly, Kathryn in NC |

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, Tmo |
