Wheel-Throwing for Adults
Give our wheels a spin!
Perfect for couples, birthdays, or just because!
What about Wheel Parties or Monthly Lessons?
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 fire your pieces in our kiln, you can paint them at our studio as well for no additional charge! We will contact you once your pieces are ready for painting, usually 2 weeks after your experience.

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, give us a call at 504-835-4155 to discuss your options.
