Curious about trying the pottery wheel but not quite ready to commit to a full course?

This 3 hour introduction session is the perfect way to explore wheel throwing and see if it’s right for you! Whether you come solo or bring friends, this relaxed and personal session is open to both individuals and small groups.

Designed for beginners, I’ll guide you step-by-step through the basics of the wheel. You’ll get a feel for the process, have fun experimenting, and ultimately create unique pieces that I’ll finish with a studio glaze in your favorite color!

What to Expect of the workshop

• 2,5 hours of hands-on throwing fun + 20 minutes clean-up. 
• You’ll learn how to 'walk' the clay. An essential technique for preparing your clay.
• Learn to center the clay and shape your first cylinder
• Create 1-2 pieces per person on the wheel to keep.
• After the session, I’ll trim and glaze your pieces in a studio glaze of your choice
• Your ceramics will be fired twice, to make them food & dishwasher safe
• Your two finished pieces will be ready for pick-up in about 4 weeks
