Wheel Throwing: Try It with Friends

A hands-on, two-hour introduction to the pottery wheel

Always wanted to try the pottery wheel? Bring a friend, a partner, or a few people you like, and learn the basics of throwing clay together. You’ll learn to center, open, and pull up clay while your instructor demonstrates each step and then works with you at the wheel.

Every session is just for your group, with a maximum of 4 students, so you get real personal attention, plus plenty of room for laughter, tips, and cheering each other on.

What’s included: instructor-led demonstration and guidance, use of clay tools and studio facilities, up to 5 lbs of clay each, and glazing and firing for one piece each that you choose to keep. Additional clay, firing and glazing can be purchased separately.

No experience necessary. Designed for adults and young adults with a serious interest.

Choose your group size:

• Up to 2 people: $200
• Up to 4 people: $300
