First time at the wheel? No problem! This class is made for you.
Join us for a one day, 2 hour session where we’ll walk you through the basics of wheel throwing. Lumpy pots and goofy bowls galore. No extended commitment necessary. Give it a shot and see if you like it! You’ll throw pieces on the wheel and will pick them up 3-4 weeks later (after they’re dried, fired, and glazed!). Students must be 16 years of age or older. Classes are limited to 8 participants.
Please check our FAQ’s page for additional information on the studio and read our Cancelation Policy prior to booking!
This is a one day, 2 hour class. You’ll pick up your finished pieces 3-4 weeks after the class.
*The Shimpo Pottery Wheel may be harmful to a person who has a pacemaker. Serious injury or death could occur. Consult a physician before using.*
