8-Week Pottery Wheel Course

Learn the fundamentals on the pottery wheel in this 8-week pottery class!

This course is designed for those wanting to deepen their understanding of clay with more time at the wheel!

Across eight weeks, you'll spend more time refining your throwing technique, tackle multiple trimming sessions to properly finish a range of forms, and get two dedicated glazing sessions to fully customize each piece. It's the most complete path we offer for beginners who want to leave with a real body of work - not just one piece, but a whole collection made entirely by hand.

What You Can Make (vs. the 4-Week Course):

With a full sleeve of clay and twice the sessions, you'll have the time to throw, trim, and glaze a genuine collection rather than a single piece, including:
