A Quick Note About Wheel

Please know that the pottery wheel can be frustrating at first, and it’s important to come in with realistic expectations. 99.9% of people will not learn how to properly center clay in just one class — wheel throwing is a skill that develops over time with practice.

This is a great workshop to take multiple times as you build confidence and improve your technique. The process is messy, playful, and hands-on, and cleaning up is part of the wheel experience too.

The best way to enjoy wheel is to approach it as “just for fun” and focus on the experience rather than perfection. Some classes you may make something pretty good, and some classes may simply be about learning and experimenting — both are part of the process.

Good wheel work is usually built over many visits, not one class — and that’s part of the fun.

Kiln firing carries inherent risks. Clay breakage, crazing, cracks or kiln explosions, can occur. Refunds or credits cannot be provided in such cases.

🔥 HOT TIP: We highly recommend watching The Great Pottery Throw Down — it's a fantastic show and will give you realistic expectations about what clay can do. You'll see that even experts hope their pieces don't crack in the kiln, that the glaze works as planned, and that things turn out the way they imagined. You'll also see that making art is about fun, supporting one another, and trying. That's what we're all about too.
