At doodlebug we like to work on building creative confidence – through learning to pay attention (dare we say, learning to “be present”?), to use new media, tools and techniques, to practice skills and, hopefully, to find joy in the process of creating something unique and meaningful (even if the rest of us “don’t get it”!). We love to send people home with masterpieces to show off but, most of all we love to send home newly confident artists who feel comfortable continuing their creative explorations going forward far into the future.

Wheel Throwing at doodlebug
3:30 – 5:00
(ages 7+) $195
This is a notoriously fun class, where you need to expect to get messy but you also can expect to learn a lot. Centering clay on the wheel is where it begins and this can lead to all manner of wonderful creations. You’ll also learn about hand-building and may want to combine the two as you create handles for mugs and experiment with other unique designs. We’ll expect you to help clean up at the end of class but we figure that’s just another life-long skill you’ll be able to add to your repertoire!
