Get your hands dirty and discover the joy of making pottery on the wheel in this beginner-friendly wheelthrowing class. Designed for those with little to no experience, this class will guide you through the basics of forming clay into functional and decorative pieces. We’ll work step by step, with demonstrations and lots of individual guidance. You’ll have time to practice, ask questions, and develop confidence at the wheel.
By the end of the class, you’ll have several finished pieces and a solid foundation to continue your ceramics journey.
