What You’ll Learn

During your 2 hour taster class, you’ll learn the core skills that form the foundation of wheel throwing or handbuilding. You’ll be shown how to prepare clay, position your hands, and confidently shape a simple form, with clear guidance that makes learning feel easy and achievable.

Each step is broken down in a simple, practical way so you can understand how the clay responds and how to control it. By the end of the session, you’ll have 2-3 pieces (depending on what you have decided to make) and the confidence that comes from learning real, creative skills in a fun, convenient introduction to pottery.
