Take part in this beginner-friendly pottery class for a hands-on introduction to hand-building in clay.
Perfect for beginners, this less messy alternative to wheel throwing allows you to create something unique while comfortably seated at communal worktables. As you socialize and learn together, you'll craft a project of your choosing under the expert guidance of an experienced ceramics instructor. Once complete, your finished piece will be professionally dried and fired at the studio and it'll be ready for collection at a later time. While glaze selection is managed by the studio, you can schedule an additional class if you'd like to glaze your work personally. All materials and tools are included in your course fee.

I enjoyed trying the clay wheel for the first time! I knew it would be difficult and require practice, so I signed up for the challenge seeing it as a fun, new experience and process to learn despite the results. I hadn’t thought about having nails making it a bit more difficult tho. 🙂 If you go as a group, just know the ask is for everyone to agree to do the same thing (either the wheel or hand building) for demonstration and time purposes. Don’t be afraid to ask for help or guidance with applying what you’re learning or other questions of interest. Be softer on yourself than you are on the clay. 😉
