Wheels on Wheels Mobile Pottery Experience – Youth or Adult
This one-of-a-kind program involves using a converted school bus as a mobile clay wheel lab to bring the party to you. 10 party guests will be able to practice their “throwing” skills for 50 minutes with self-hardening clay on real, electric potter’s wheels housed in DFAC’s converted school bus. Take a short break outside the bus where under the canopy there will be two tables (DFAC) for refreshments (provided by the renter). An additional 10 guests may then practice their “throwing” skills or the original 10 may have another opportunity to make a second bowl on the wheel. For an additional $100, clay hand-building experience can be added so that all 20 guests are working at the same time. For the added fee, guests will rotate so that a total of 20 guests in a 2-hour block get to experience both wheel and hand-building. For more Wheels-on-Wheels info/history, click here

Cost: $400.00 Member / $500.00 Non-Member (without the hand-building experience)
