NIGHT OUT: INTRO TO WHEEL TURNING If you’ve always wanted to take a spin on the potter’s wheel, this class at the Spartanburg Art Museum is your chance. Accomplished potter Christina Dixon will guide you through the fundamentals and help you create a piece of pottery or two to take home. Feel free to bring a friend, and be prepared to get your hands (and your clothes) dirty.
