Have you always wanted to learn how to create your own pottery on the wheel? Come join us!
Throughout this course, you'll learn the fundamentals of a pottery wheel practice, including:
* Centering & throwing on the pottery wheel
* Trimming & adding handles
* Recycling your clay
* Surface decoration & glazing techniques
Already have some wheel experience? We’re happy to help you design a personalized plan for your 6-week session to challenge your skills — think tall vases, lidded jars, altered forms, and more. Let’s make this your most creative session yet!
By the end of the session, you'll have a great understanding of how to create pieces in your own style and feel confident to start creating on your own during walk-in hours, as a Clayworks member in our studio, or at home with your own equipment.

We have a fun and laid-back atmosphere, while also providing a ton of great information and experience. We learn from each other! Our clay class sizes for the pottery wheel are never more than 8 people, so it's easy to get lots of feedback and help.
This class is geared towards adult students.
Younger students will have a more difficult time, but we can accommodate interested & motivated teens.
