Intro to Wheel Throwing
You’ll learn the basics of wheel-thrown pottery in this beginner pottery class, including centering clay, pulling walls, and shaping simple forms. During this 2-hour class, you will create and paint two bowls, which are then trimmed, glazed, and finished by the studio in the kiln. No prior experience required.
For The Kids
Summer Kids Camp
Our ceramics summer camp is for kids 8-12 years old. Campers will spend the week exploring clay through both wheel throwing and hand building projects. Throughout the week, students will learn foundational pottery techniques, experiment with texture and surface design, and create a variety of functional and sculptural ceramic pieces.
Go Deeper
Plates Workshop
Our plates workshop is the perfect next step for anyone who's tried wheel throwing and wants to go deeper. You'll focus on throwing and shaping functional plates with real attention to consistency, compression, and clean form — the skills that define confident, capable potters.
