Wheel Throwing in Seattle

Feb 13, 2007 5 Replies

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!

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

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:

check out Seward park. There is one more studio in Pioneersquare, although the name escapes me. HTH, Tmo
