Give our wheels a spin!

Our introductory experience is ideal for first-timers who want to play in clay. Over the course of an hour and a half, your instructor will help you wedge, center, open, and raise up to three balls of clay to (hopefully!) create your very own bowl, vase, cup, or planter! Once we bake your pieces in a kiln, you can paint them at our studio as well: the price is all-inclusive.

What about Wheel Parties or Monthly Lessons?
We currently do not offer wheel-throwing parties or formal lessons for adults. We are perfect for those who want one try at the wheel before committing to month-long classes elsewhere. We do offer hand-building (sculpting) parties for adults. We recommend pottery painting parties for your first time to our studio (read more here). If you know you want a clay party, e-mail us below!
