Experience-Focused
Social, fun, low-pressure class designed for exploration.

This 2-hour Wheel Throwing Intro is designed as a low-pressure introduction to the pottery wheel — perfect for folks who are curious and want to try it before committing to a longer class.

In this small-group session (just 4 students), you’ll learn the basics of centering, shaping, and pulling clay on the wheel with guided instruction throughout. The focus is on exploration and experience, not perfection or production.

You’ll make a few simple forms during class. Finished pieces will be handled and fired by the studio, then ready for pickup at a later date.

This class is calm, supportive, and beginner friendly. This is not a full skills course — just a thoughtful place to start

If you love this experience, the next step is a multi-week wheel cohort or membership. 

All levels welcome. No experience necessary.
