# Adult classes

> Try the wheel for one night, or come once a week for six or twelve weeks of wheel throwing or hand building. Beginners are welcome, and either way you will take home a piece of pottery you made.

## Our classes

Pick the wheel or hand building, then the class for where you are.

**Two ways to work.** Most people start with one. You can switch between semesters, or take both in one.

- [Wheel throwing](https://www.yarostudios.com/classes/wheel-throwing): Your hands shape the clay as it spins, into round pots: cups, bowls and vases. $750 for 12 weeks.
- [Hand building](https://www.yarostudios.com/classes/hand-building): You pinch, coil and roll slabs at a table, so you can make any shape: plates, planters, boxes and sculpture. From $450 for 6 weeks, or $750 for 12.

- **Try it.** Two hours, one night. See how clay feels before you take a semester.
- **Learn it.** Once a week for a semester. Start here if you're new, and come back to keep practicing.
- **Go further.** For students who've taken a class: harder forms, bigger pieces and projects of your own.
- **Do both.** One semester split between the wheel and the hand-building table.
