Wheel Throwing Classes in HSR Layout

This is me in my element, teaching a wheel throwing class. It is hard to capture these moments when I am so immersed in guiding my students, so I am grateful when they share photos like this.

Here I am, lost in the process of trimming a piece on the wheel. This stage is all about refining the shape and giving the pot its final, clean form before it dries.

A student focuses on centering a large piece of clay, the first and most crucial step in wheel throwing. With patience, he transforms it into a beautifully shaped vase.

This is the moment it all comes together. After centering the clay and shaping it with care, there is so much joy in seeing a new form take shape. That smile of accomplishment is what our studio is all about.

Taking some time for myself to practice on the wheel. Even as a teacher, I am always learning and experimenting with new forms and larger amounts of clay.

This is my story. I found my calling in clay after years in the corporate world. Working at the wheel is therapeutic for me, a place where I can challenge myself and bring new ideas to life.

I am demonstrating how to throw a large jar using 5 kgs of clay. Working with this much clay requires a different approach and a lot of physical effort, but the result is always rewarding.

A slow, steady, and stable pull is the key to creating a tall, even cylinder on the wheel. This is one of the fundamental skills we practice over and over in our classes.

It is so satisfying to salvage a piece that was about to be discarded. Here, I am re-centering and reshaping a large pot that a student was struggling with, turning it into a beautiful, curved form.
