Pottery Classes
Single Drop-In
A one-time throwing class. Practice centering clay on the potter’s wheel, creating a simple form (a bowl, cup, planter, etc.). You can expect to make 1-2 pieces for pickup in 4-6 weeks.
Class Bundles
Design a class bundle: multiple throwing classes and trimming classes to explore stages of the pottery process and build your skills. 2, 4 or 6-Class Bundles are popular. Classes need to occur within 1-8 days.
Claydates
Reserve the studio for a private throwing session for you and your guest(s) (seats up to 5). Popular for dates, family outings, besties, intimate birthday gifts or anniversaries!
All About Bundles
Throwing vs. Trimming
What’s the difference, and do you need to take both?
1.Throwing
Make something on the wheel! Work with wet clay on the wheel, spinning it and pressing it with your hands. Once the clay is centered, you learn various techniques to create a form. Bowls, cups, and saucers are popular. It is squishy and messy and chaotic and fun!
2.Trimming
Optional follow-up to throwing: carve your work on the wheel after it has dried to a “leather hard,” state. Flip the piece upside down, secure it to the wheel and carve it with a metal loop tool, refining the overall shape and creating a “foot.”
