Our 4-Week Foundations class offers an immersive, hands-on journey with the pottery wheel — welcoming both beginners and intermediate students curious about exploring the art of wheel throwing in a guided, supportive setting. Each week adds a new layer of understanding, giving you room to practice, experiment, and find your own rhythm with clay.

Over four weeks, you’ll move through the full arc of the pottery-making journey. You’ll learn core throwing techniques, shape and refine your forms, explore trimming methods, and see how subtle shifts in touch and timing influence the clay. You’ll also be introduced to surface decoration, simple alterations, and the glazing process — selecting and applying finishes that bring depth, character, and personality to your work.

With unlimited clay and supportive instruction throughout, these sessions offer space to try new shapes, learn through repetition, and discover the techniques you naturally gravitate toward. Whether it’s your first time on the wheel or you’re returning with experience, you’ll emerge with the foundations of wheel throwing and the beginnings of your own creative voice at the wheel.

After your final class, each piece will be kiln-fired with care, emerging as a functional object ready to be part of your everyday life.

Your pottery will be ready for pickup in approximately three weeks.
