Come get your hands muddy. Whether you are curious about clay or just want to slow down for a few hours, my studio is where you can find your rhythm on the wheel.

About The Potter's Wheel Experience
The wheel is less about perfect form and more about finding your center. It takes a bit of strength and patience to center the clay, but I will be there to guide your hands as we learn to pull the walls up. Wear clothes you do not mind getting a little messy, and bring a curious mind.
Wheel throwing is a meditative process. It is just you, the spinning wheel, and the clay. In my studio, we focus on the foundational skills: centering, opening, and pulling up the walls to create your own bowl or cup. It sounds simple, but it requires a balance of focus and relaxation.
What to Expect
Whether you are a complete beginner or looking to refine your technique, my sessions are small (6-10 people). This ensures I can provide personal guidance to everyone. You will spend about 2 hours with me in the HSR Layout studio. We provide the aprons, tools, and the clay—you just need to show up ready to learn.
The Process
After your session, your piece needs to go through a careful process to become a finished ceramic item. This involves drying, trimming, two rounds of firing (up to 1200 degrees Celsius), and glazing. Because of this, finished pieces are ready for collection in about 3-4 weeks.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Do I need to be artistic? Not at all. Many people arrive nervous and leave feeling accomplished. It is about the experience, not the result.
- Can I do this with a friend? Yes, we have side-by-side wheel options for couples and friends. It is a popular way to spend an afternoon.
- What about longer courses? If you fall in love with the wheel after a one-day workshop, I also run a 10-day intensive course that covers glazing and more advanced shaping techniques.
