Clay Wheel-Throwing: All Levels – Beginner to Advanced

Discover the art of working with clay on the potter’s wheel in this hands-on class designed for all skill levels.

Whether this is your very first time touching clay or you’ve already taken wheel classes and want to refine your technique, this class is intentionally structured to grow with you.

Because we keep class sizes small (maximum of eight participants), our instructors are able to work with each student at their individual level.

Minimum age 13 for this class

🌿 What You’ll Learn

Beginners will learn:

• How to center clay on the wheel
• How to pull walls evenly
• How to shape a cylinder or bowl
• Foundational techniques for success

Returning & advancing students can focus on:

• Improving consistency and form
• Trimming techniques
• Creating taller or thinner walls
• Shaping refined bowls and mugs
• Lids, handles, and altered forms
• Surface texture and finishing details

Many of our wheel students take this class multiple times to continue developing their skills. Each session can build on the last and focus on new goals.

🏺 What to Expect

During class, you may create as many pieces as time allows (most adults create two to three pieces). You’ll choose which pieces to keep, and they will be fired and prepared for glazing.

Pieces must dry completely before firing, which can take up to two weeks. Once fired, you may return to glaze your pieces during regular business hours (no reservation required).

Finished pieces are $20 each (1½ pounds of clay), and this price includes:

• The clay
• Trimming service
• Kiln firing
• Paint glazes and supplies
• Final glaze firing

This class is designed for ages 13 and up.
