Open Wheel Sessions Program

FUNKē FIRED ARTS Is Proud to Present Our Monthly Open Wheel-Throwing sessions!

Get ready to have an AWESOME Friday night... this class is all about having fun and being creative!

The Open Wheel Sessions are one-night programs where we guarantee you'll make at least one pot on the wheel! Group and personal instruction both take place at this event. Bring a friend and let's make some pots!

This is a great way for people interested in working with clay to experience it first hand without the commitment of a six week class. The events are held on the second and fourth Friday of each Month from 6:30pm to 8:30pm. Clay, tools, firing, refreshments, and instruction from knowledgeable staff are included.

Plan to arrive around 6 so that you can get settled. Six signups are necessary for the progam to run so get some friends together and make a night of it! If your session will not run for any reason, we will call you the by 1pm the day of the class. Prepayment is required.

The sessions are completely FREE For Studio Members and $30 for any other guest.

REGISTER ONLINE HERE!
