Hi jdsl,
Several of the rec. centers have potters wheels and kilns! You can check in the Recreation News link that Z provided to see when pottery is available at each of these rec. centers.

A room is reserved in blocks of time for potters, such as 9-noon on Friday. If that's not a convenient time for you, pottery will be offered on a different day and time slot at a different rec. center.

During those times when rec. rooms are reserved for pottery, you do NOT need to be in a class. Other than the potters wheels, clay cutting tables and kilns, you do need to have your own supplies such as clay, glazes and potters tools. There are closets with shelves where your supplies can be stored. The closets also have designated shelves for pottery to dry before glazing and firing.

Although all potters clean up after themselves, a designated voluteer is responsible for opening and setting up the room for pottery and for leaving the shared equipment and the room spotless for the room's next reserved activity.

I think your visitor just might be blown away!
