Clay Curious
About
The last Clay Curious of the year: a two-hour beginner wheel class with a demo and hands-on coaching to throw a cup or bowl, one of which the studio glazes and fires for you. It runs Sunday, December 13 from 6:30 to 8:30 pm at Saltstone Ceramics, 2206 N 45th St (Metro route 44). The cost is $100 per person.

How it compares
- Weekend
At $100, this sits about the middle of the 49 single-session pottery classes we list in Seattle. They run from $25 to $650, and the typical price is $95.
That works out to about $50 an hour for a 2-hour session.
If one session leaves you wanting more, 6 studios we list run multi-week pottery courses, from $140.

New to pottery?
Most first classes are either a wheel taster, where you learn to centre clay and pull up a cylinder, or hand-building, where you shape a mug, dish or planter with pinch, coil and slab techniques.
- Wear clothes that can get muddy and keep nails short; rings and bracelets come off before the wheel.
- Expect two to three hours for a single session. Clay, tools and firing are almost always in the price; glazing sometimes costs extra.
- A one-time class is the cheap way to find out whether you want a five- or six-week course, which is where the wheel actually starts to click.
Taking it home: Not on the day. Pieces dry, are fired, glazed and fired again, so studios usually hold them for two to four weeks.
