They will start with slabs of leather hard clay and by the end of the session, they will each have designed, decorated and painted a shallow bowl. In the process, they will learn basic handbuilding including using a variety of clay tools for decorating and texturing. Finally, they will paint their piece using colors of their choice. District Clay will bisque fire each piece, give them a final clear glaze and glaze fire it. The final work will be ready for pick-up four to six weeks after the event.

Corporate Wheel Event
Working on the pottery wheel is fun . . . and challenging. It requires eye to hand coordination, careful placement of your hands and firm control over a rapidly spinning wheel. Don't expect to make a perfect pot. But you will be thrilled when you cause a cylinder to rise out of a solid lump of clay using your own two hands. This event is designed to spur focus and concentration, expose people to a challenging and possibly frustrating situation (working on the wheel) and to confront a situation where the imperfect is the only possible result (it is very difficult to make a perfect pot on your first try.) This event offers multiple teambuilding opportunities including allowing participants to confront their own expectations and limitations in a safe fun-filled group environment. It comes with a specially designed TeamBuilding Discussion Guide that participants can use if they wish. Basic Info:
Cost: $80 per person; 6 to 26 participants. What it includes: 2 1/2 hour sessionm includes instruction by a DCC teacher, clay and tools and a Corporate Wheel TeamBuilding Discussion Guide. Each paticipant will have one pot they made trimmed, dried, bisque fired and then glazed and glazed fired by District Clay. Also a full studio tour including our gallery, wheel room and kiln areas. Beer, wine, water and some crackers also included. Work is available for pick up approx. 4-6 weeks after the event. What you bring: a small towel or apron. What we need: We need a 50% deposit to hold your event with any remaining amounts due at the beginning of the event.
