Learn how to create your own clay pieces at one of our wheel throwing experiences. 

No experience necessary!  

Choose from either a Wheel Throwing Private Lesson, Small Group or Party to learn the basics of wheel throwing or take a Private Lesson as a refresher course. Each offering has great exposure to the wheel, tools, and glazes…. or partake in a Six Session Workshop (12 hours) on the wheel to learn about making different shapes, handles, designs, trimming, and more!

Wheel throwing is a great activity for ages 12 & up. Each student will create a clay masterpiece and return in ~14 to 21 days later to glaze their masterpiece  at no additional fee (studio time, glazes, and firing included).  Don’t forget to return to the studio a 3rd time to pick up your painted items!! You will have 30 days to pick up your items once they have been fired.

We do have special sessions where 9-11 y.o. children may take wheel classes (scouting or wheel camp events).

A 60 to 90 minute wheel throwing lesson to make 2 or 3 items.  Enroll online and choose from the available times listed for your private class by clicking the button listed above, ‘sign up for a wheel class’.  We do not hold classes for only 1 person unless personally scheduled with the instructor.
