Winter 8-Week Pottery Wheel Class — Intermediate Skills & Glazing

Only 5 seats per class. 

First, let's be clear who this class is not for:

If you have successfully thrown yourself a full set of matching dishes, nesting mixing bowls, cookie jars or a toilet, this class is not for you. Membership is.

If you are easily frustrated or unable to trust the process--this could be healing, or a nightmare. Depending. 

Eight weeks. A potter's wheel. A collection of functional pieces you actually made with your hands. This is the class for anyone who's been waiting for the right moment to finally get serious about pottery — or get back to it.

Our 8-Week Pottery Wheel Class takes you from foundational centering and cylinder work all the way through glaze layering techniques, with small class sizes (max 5 students) that keep instruction personal and progress fast. Projects are chosen in consultation with your instructor each week, so the work stays meaningful and matched to your pace.

🗓️ What You'll Learn, Week by Week

• Weeks 1–2: Centering, opening, and pulling walls — the foundation of everything on the wheel. You'll throw your first cylinders and a small planter. From here, the clay — and the world — opens up.
• Weeks 3–4: Finishing skills — trimming, handle pulling, and surface decoration — while continuing to throw new projects each week.
• Weeks 5–6: Move beyond bowls. Throw jars, teapots, ramen bowls, mugs, and forms that reflect your own developing style.
• Weeks 7–8: Glaze strategies and science — layering dip and brush-on cone 6 glazes for different effects. Continue throwing new projects or perfecting previous ones.
