About this Event

We are open daily 9am-11pm. Please email [email protected] or text 716-244-2074 to request additional times if event shows sold out. The introductory workshop allows students to learn how to throw on a  potter's wheel. 


A pottery wheel class is a creative and hands-on workshop where participants learn the art of creating pottery using a potter's wheel. The class is typically led by an experienced potter or ceramic artist who guides students through the process of shaping clay into functional or decorative objects.


The class usually begins with an introduction to the pottery wheel, its components, and how to operate it safely. Participants are taught proper body posture and positioning to effectively control the wheel. They learn how to center the clay, which is a crucial step in creating well-balanced and symmetrical pieces.


Once the basic techniques are covered, students start practicing throwing clay on the wheel. The instructor demonstrates various throwing techniques and encourages students to experiment with different shapes and forms. The focus is on developing skills such as pulling up walls, shaping vessels, and creating textures or patterns on the clay surface.


Throughout the class, participants receive individual attention and guidance from the instructor, who offers tips and suggestions to improve their technique and troubleshoot any challenges they encounter. The hands-on nature of the class allows students to learn through trial and error, gradually refining their skills as they gain experience.




Pottery wheel classes provide a supportive and collaborative environment where participants can interact with fellow students, share ideas, and appreciate each other's work. It's a chance to explore one's creativity, learn a new skill, and create unique ceramic pieces with one's own hands.


At the end of the class, participants have the opportunity to keep their finished pottery pieces. Some classes may also offer the option of firing and glazing the completed pieces, allowing participants to have fully finished ceramics to take home and enjoy.
