hey, whatâs class like?
hey, whatâs class like?
in this 2hr~ wheelthrowing session, you'll (more than likely) make a set of bowls or cups on the potterâs wheel and add decoration (if youâd like) with stamps and texture tools.
youâll learn all the steps in the initial process of wheelthrowing â from correct posture and position of your hands with or without tools, how to achieve slow, steady movement, and how to course-correct when things go wonky (because they will). weâll also explain the physical science at work to help inform your learning here.
also if you just want to get dirty and muck about because you havenât gotten messy like this since you were a kid, thatâs totally fine. we are simple clay nerds who can also read the room and wonât info dump unless you ask us to.
after class, weâll finish your pieces with your choice of glaze and have them ready to pick up within 4-6 weeks of class :-)








all the lovely little details
hereâs what to expect:

what youâll make:
some beautiful pots with a whole lot of personality!
youâll get all the clay you need to create a one-of-a-kind vessel. in your first class you can generally expect to make planters, small bowls and short cups.
throwing can be a bit of a challenge, so come prepared to make a few mistakes â€ïž we promise weâll be patient with you the whole way through.Â
where youâll make it:
this is an outdoor class so come expecting flora, fauna, and general #florida phenomena!
we are in a shady area with lots of trees surrounding us, so temps are cooler than you might expect (usually about 5-6 degrees lower than on the street)
what youâll keep:
youâll get to keep your favorite piece!
just try not to get attached â€ïž we wish it were different (trust) but we canât always guarantee all of your pottery will make it through the firing process fully intact (i.e., your bowl is a planter post-firing)
weâll warn you if we think a piece might be limited to the present moment; weâll help you fix it if we can.
how weâll glaze it:
weâll coat your pieces in a glaze of your choice (white, clear or green) and fire them asap!
âïžall pieces are microwave/dishwasher friendly and food-safe once finishedÂ
when youâll pick up your work:
generally weâll have pots ready for you within six weeks of class. this is a ~process~ that includes drying time, two firings, glazing, etc.Â
we really appreciate your patience as there will be a short wait! we hope that is okay â€ïž
pick up hours:
SUN 10-2p / TUES/THURS 4-9pm
youâll get a little contact card that has an estimated date for pick up, generally 6-8 weeks after class. if itâs earlier, weâll text you!
once weâve been in contact with you, we will store work for 30 days! feel free to text liza for an update.
life happens, just talk to us if you canât get back to the studio in that time period and we will figure something out.Â
however⊠we donât have a lot of storage space! please donât wait to pick up your work.
almost forgotâŠ
good things to know

small classes, big learning
there are five seats available in each group wheel class â smaller classes allow us to take you through the whole process with more individual attention and care.
yo, teach!

hey hi iâm liza nice to meet ya!
Â
[ liza ] is a lifelong floridian, multidisciplinary artist and lizard lover who began making pots in 2014 while she was supposed to be writing sociology papers at the university of north florida.Â
liza usually pinches and coils clay into everyday objects (talking about a real form-and-function type of person) that are highly tactile, textural, often inspired by architectural elements found in and around the historical districts of Hollywood (by-the-sea đ¶)
short nails pls!
short, unpolished fingernails are encouraged. you are going to have your hand inside of a spinning ball of soft clay â long nails and this process really donât mix well.
for your own enjoyment, itâs HIGHLY RECOMMENDED you arrive with short nails.Â
donât say i didnât tell you twice âš
dress code? more like mess codeâŠ
make sure to dress for a mess, not for dinner!!
short, unpolished fingernails, lightweight long pants, and closed-toed shoes are highly recommended.Â
*seriously though! keep em short â€ïžâšđ
private gatherings + parties, etc. đ
YES YOU CAN HAVE YOUR PARTY HERE!
if youâre booking for a group of 4 or more, weâll close the class so itâs a private gathering for you and friends.
if thereâs more than 6 in your group, we can figure something special out at the sculpture table :-)
BYOB BABY
WE HAVE STARFRUIT AVAILABLE IF YOU WANT SOME!
youâre also welcome to bring whatever makes you and your friends comfortable â food, booze, etc⊠đŁïžđż
weâll have flat + fizzy water available for ya, too âš
class passes, gift certificates, etc
