A handleless drinking cup. Master the art of the simple, elegant tumbler.
At Boulder Pottery Studio in Boulder, making a tumbler is one of the projects you'll tackle in our pottery classes. Here's what goes into this satisfying ceramic project.
Every piece of pottery goes through several stages: forming (on the wheel or by hand), drying to leather-hard, trimming, drying completely, bisque firing, glazing, and glaze firing. A tumbler typically takes 2-4 weeks from wet clay to finished, usable piece.
Making a tumbler teaches fundamental pottery skills that apply to everything you'll create. You'll practice clay preparation, forming technique, surface finishing, and glazing — all guided by an experienced instructor in our well-equipped Boulder studio.
Our pottery classes include projects like this and many more. All materials are included — clay, glazes, kiln firing, and tools. Join our email list to be notified when classes open for registration.
