About this Event
Get ready to get your hands dirty and your creativity flowing! In this beginner-friendly wheel-throwing pottery class, you’ll learn how to prepare clay, center it on the wheel, and shape a small bowl. No experience needed — just bring your curiosity and a sense of fun!
This class focuses on the process, not perfection. You’ll leave with hands-on experience and, if you’re lucky, a small greenware piece — a fragile, decorative item you can take home the same day. If you’d like to finish and glaze your piece to make it food-safe, sign up for our follow-up “Paint Your Own Pottery” class (available 3+ days after your session).
? Optional add-ons:
Bisque firing: $5 per piece
Glazing: from $10 per piece

No refunds or rescheduling after registration — but we promise a fun, unforgettable time on the wheel!
