Beginners Class - 3 Weeks - Evenings

Learn the basics of pottery in a 3-week class, designed to be a snapshot of the whole pottery process:​

  • Learn the basics of throwing on a wheel
  • Build pots and sculptures using slab and coil 
  • Learn how to glaze using multiple techniques

No experience is necessary, and we encourage all skill levels to join! Available for 15 years+, or with the accompaniment of a guardian.

​New potter's can expect to bring home about 5 pieces. Limited spaces available, with each class accommodating up to 5 students. 

Class Structure

Each week we will explore a new technique in order to try out​ all the basics and learn the whole process.

Week 1: Handbuilding
Learn how to use templates to make a textured mug and tray from slab.

Week 2: Throwing
We will jump on the wheel and learn how to make bowls, plates and vases on the potter's wheel! 

[We take a 1 week break in order to prepare for the glaze class]

Week 3: Glaze and Decorate
Learn how to dip glazes to create unique combinations.

4-6 weeks until all your pieces are out of the kiln and ready for pickup!
