8-Week Pottery Wheel Class Series
Dive into the art of wheel throwing in this hands-on, 8-week pottery course. You’ll learn the full process from start to finish — how to center clay, create height and form, refine your pieces through trimming, and finish them with beautiful glazes. Perfect for beginners and those looking to improve their skills, these classes will guide you through each stage of creating your own functional and decorative pottery
Those who have pottery experience will focus on refining technique and expanding skills on the wheel. Students will work on creating more consistent forms, increasing height and control, improving shape and proportion, and learning advanced trimming and finishing techniques. The course also explores intentional form development, problem-solving at the wheel, and glazing approaches to elevate finished pieces.
What is throwing pottery on the wheel?
Wheel throwing is the process of shaping clay on a rotating wheel to create functional forms—think bowls, cups, and vases. You’ll learn the core steps: wedging (preparing the clay), centering (aligning it on the wheel), opening and pulling walls (building height and shape), then trimming to refine the foot. In later weeks, you’ll explore simple surface techniques and glazing. It’s hands-on, a little messy, and incredibly satisfying as the clay responds to your touch.
We look forward to welcoming you at our pottery studio located in the heart of Montgomery County’s Agricultural Reserve!
