We currently have a waiting list for our Beginner Classes. If you would like to be notified when there are available spots, please email us by clicking on the link below. Also, please indicate in your email if you have ever taken a One-Day Wheel Class.


Details: 6-week Beginner Wheel Class, all inclusive (use of studio tools, clay, firing, glazing & some additional open studio time*) $375


These classes will be the same day/time every week for six weeks and Mondays are open studio time* (from 12pm to 8pm) for anyone enrolled in a class. Classes are kept small so space is limited!


Currently, classes for beginner wheel throwing are being offered on:

  • Saturdays 10am-1pm (next session starts in March)
  • Thursday afternoon 12-3pm (next session starts in May)
  • Friday evening 6-9pm (next session starts in March)

This class is for BEGINNERS (those with little or no experience, or those re-learning the wheel after an extended absence from throwing). No production work or experienced potters will be allowed in this class.


*Open studio (on Mondays) is for PRACTICE only. This is not time for additional instruction or to produce new pieces. This time is for practicing the techniques that you learned in class, so you will not be allowed to keep anything new produced during Open Studio.

SUMMER CLAY CAMPS (AGES 10-16): beginner Wheel throwing

Summer Clay Camps: Beginner Wheel Throwing & Intro to Hand-building, Ages 10-16)

We're VERY excited about our new summer clay camps! Designed to get our youth engaged in the art of ceramics and throwing pottery on the wheel, these fun & engaging classes will be a bright spot in their summer!     


This camp is for students with little to no experience on the wheel and will run from Monday through Friday, 9:00am - 11:15am. Open to ages 10-16, $225/week. Students may register for just one week to learn basic wheel throwing, or up to THREE weeks for a more immersive and complete clay experience!  LIMITED SEATING: ONLY 8 SPOTS PER CAMP!  


  • Registration for ONE week will be structured to concentrate on wheel throwing, but students will also learn about the process of pottery, right through to the firing, and have a light introduction to "hand-building."   
  • Registration for TWO weeks will give the student the ability to build on their skills for wheel throwing, as well as provide them the opportunity to do additional "hand-building" projects with clay.    
  • Registration for THREE weeks will offer the student additional opportunities to build upon their wheel-throwing skillset, create hand-building projects, AND glaze their own pieces!  

July Clay Camp: Beginner Wheel & Intro to Hand-Building (Register for 1-3 Weeks)
