Try It! Beginner Wheel Throwing

Curious about the pottery wheel? This beginner-friendly class is the perfect way to dip your hands into clay! Whether it’s your first time or you’re brushing off old skills, you’ll get a guided, hands-on introduction to wheel throwing—no experience needed.

Our instructor will guide you through the process step-by-step, helping you center, shape, and (maybe) master your first pot. Expect a little mess, lots of laughs, and a creative night out that’s anything but ordinary.

You'll make 2- 3 pots with glaze options to personalize your creations. We'll handle the glazing and firing, and your finished work will be ready for pickup in 2–4 weeks.
