About

This single-session workshop is all about having fun, trying something new, and getting hands-on with the pottery wheel.

This workshop is meant to be a lighthearted, guided experience where you can relax, laugh, and enjoy the process of making.

The goal of this session is not perfection—it’s about experiencing the wheel, playing with clay, and enjoying yourself. And if you’re already experienced, you’re welcome to use your 3 throws however you like!

Please don’t come expecting a full pottery lesson—we have 8-week programs if you’re looking to dive deeper!

Let's have some fun!

Workshop Flow

  • We’ll start with a quick introduction and overview of the class so you feel comfortable and ready to dive in.

  • You’ll get 3 turns on the wheel.

  • On your first throw, we walk through the steps together, then dissect your piece to better understand how the wheel works.

  • For the next two throws, you’re free to try it out on your own.

  • At the end, you can choose one piece to be professionally finished.

  • During the workshop, feel free to grab a drink from our cold fridge — we’re fully licensed and offer a great selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages to enjoy while you create.

Your finished pottery will be ready in about 4–6 weeks.
