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.
First Class Session: Monday, September 22
Final Class Session: Monday, October 27
Weekly Session Info: Mondays, 6:00PM-8:00PM

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.
Individuals are encouraged to let us know if you prefer a private 6-week session, which can be scheduled for groups of 5-8. Contact us directly at
