In our 12-session course, you won't just watch demonstrations—you'll get hands-on time with the wheel every single session, learning the muscle memory for wedging, pulling cylinders, and eventually, trimming your own finished pieces. ### Find Your Rhythm with Clay Learning to throw on a wheel is a process of unlearning the rush of everyday life. Our 12-session foundation course, based right here in Nagashetty Halli, is structured to take you from a complete novice to a potter who can confidently center clay and pull a cylinder. We keep our batches intentionally small—usually just 4 to 6 students—so I can personally guide your hands, correct your posture, and ensure you're getting the feel for the clay rather than just following instructions. ### What You Will Master * **The Foundation:** We start with proper wedging to ensure your clay is free of air bubbles, followed by the patience required for centering—the most crucial skill on the wheel. * **Building Skills:** From there, we move into pulling up the walls of cylinders, a fundamental shape that allows you to create everything from mugs to vases. * **Refining Your Work:** Towards the latter half of the course, we focus on trimming and finishing, where you’ll learn how to turn a practice piece into a functional object you’d be proud to keep. ### Why Choose Our Studio? * **Real Practice:** You get unlimited clay usage during your sessions. We believe you cannot learn pottery by observing alone; you learn by doing, failing, and trying again. * **Everything Included:** We handle the messy, technical side—bisque firing, glazing, and final glaze firing for your chosen pieces are all part of the course. * **Supportive Environment:** Whether you’re here to escape the city noise or build a new hobby, our studio offers a quiet space to breathe, get your hands dirty, and connect with a community of fellow learners in North Bangalore. ## About Oriri Studio We’re Oriri Studio, and we believe there’s no better way to de-stress than getting your hands covered in mud. We started this space in North Bangalore to share the meditative joy of pottery, guiding you through the messy, beautiful reality of creating something from scratch.
