A Hands-On Journey in Clay
This hands-on, beginner-friendly course is perfect for anyone with little to no experience in wheel throwing—or those who’ve tried it before and want to learn more in a supportive, small-group setting (maximum of 2 participants per class).
You’ll work closely with our experienced instructor, who will tailor your four-week journey based on your goals. Whether you want to throw bowls, cylinders, plates, or vases, you’ll gain confidence and foundational skills in a relaxed and creative environment.
Course Outline
– Get to know our studio clay and how to properly prepare it.
– Watch a demonstration tailored to your interests (bowl, cylinder, plate, or vase).
