Beginner pottery wheel students will work with our potter to learn the basics

  • Wedging the clay to prepare it for the wheel
  • Centering the clay on the pottery wheel
  • Opening up the clay and creating a floor
  • Pulling up the walls of the clay
  • Shaping your piece
  • Trimming your piece
  • Glazing your bisque piece

Students may opt to stay after their scheduled lesson time and practice on their own for an additional $25/hr.

Payment will be made in the studio for this option.


Your pieces should be thrown, trimmed, glazed and finished within your 4 week block of lessons.

Clay, tools, glazes and firing are included in your tuition.
Students are responsible for cleaning the wheel and tools at the end of their lesson.


​Just bring your creativity and eagerness to learn!

As students advance in their skill, more involved pottery techniques will be added to their learning
