Book a pottery wheel throwing class with us!

Our classes cover the basics of wheel-throwing to get you comfortable with the potter's wheel and teach you how to use essential tools. 

They are a fun way to spend time with friends and family and make an excellent date night adventure! 


$35 per person for the class time and instruction 

+$15 per wheel pot you want to return to paint

Our wheel throwing classes are around an hour long with the last 10-15 minutes of class being devoted to cleaning up your wheel and taking photos of your work. You'll want to arrive ~10 minutes before the start of class to get settled in. Feel free to bring a washcloth or small hand towel for your lap and wear comfy clothes that you are not afraid to get a little easy to wash off clay on! Any of the pottery wheel creations you pick to return and paint will be ready for you in 3-5 weeks. 


The classroom is only for paid students who have booked online. 

Sorry, there are no walk-in spots available for wheel classes.
