Learn how to throw pottery on the wheel in a friendly, hands-on studio setting. This class teaches the fundamentals of working with clay on the wheel, including preparing clay, centering, forming simple shapes (like bowls and cups), trimming, glazing, and understanding how pieces are fired in the kiln. Everything is explained step-by-step so beginners feel confident and supported.
Students will learn and practice:
• How to center and shape clay using proper hand placement
• How form, balance, and proportion affect functional pottery
• The stages of clay (plastic, leather-hard, bone-dry, bisque, glaze)
• Safe and respectful use of tools, materials, and studio space
Class Format:
• Beginner level, no prior experience needed
• Small class size (maximum 3 students) for plenty of guidance
• 2-hour instructional sessions
• All tools, clay, glazes, and 2 kiln firings included
Outcome:
Each student will complete one or more small wheel-thrown pieces that will be fired and ready to be glazed at a later date. Open to learners 14 and up and great for anyone who wants to explore ceramics in a relaxed, creative space.
Ticket price is per person, not a per group. Must be 12 years old and up.
