About this class
What you’ll do in the class
Introduction to Clay & Wheel Throwing
Learn about the different types of clay, the pottery process, and the basics of using a pottery wheel. Your instructor will demonstrate essential techniques to help you get started.
Before you begin shaping, you'll learn how to properly prepare your clay to ensure it's smooth and workable. This step is crucial for achieving the best results in your pottery.
Wheel Throwing Techniques
- Master the art of centering clay on the wheel – one of the most important skills in pottery
- Learn to pull, shape, and refine your clay to form bowls, cylinders, or other small vessels
- Experiment with different hand positions and pressure techniques to create even and symmetrical forms
One-on-One Guidance from Experienced Instructors
Whether you're struggling to center your clay or need help refining your shape, your instructor will provide personalized feedback and hands-on assistance to improve your skills.
Finalizing Your Pieces
After shaping your ceramics during the 2.5-hour wheel class, we will glaze 2 of your pieces with our special self-made studio glaze and fire them to make them water resistant and usable. We will notify you when they are ready for pickup at the studio.
