Intro to Wheel Throwing

Join us for a beginner’s class on the potter’s wheel! No experience needed. This class is perfect for newcomers or anyone wanting to brush up on the basics. Throwing on the wheel is fun, challenging, and relaxing. Our incredible pottery teachers will guide you step by step.


Intro to Hand Building

Pottery is often associated with wheel-throwing, but hand building is the oldest method of working with clay, utilizing only hands and simple tools. In our beginner friendly hand building class, you'll create a project using techniques such as pinching, coiling, and slabs.
