[private anytime class] wheelthrowing 101 beginners 2hr session

$65-70 per human ▪️ 2hr class

time for a pottery party

turn soft clay into functional art on the potter’s wheel in our two-hour introductory class

👉 B Y O B

what’s a private session like?

turn soft clay into functional bowls, cups, and objects you can use everyday in this 2hr introductory pottery session.

you’ll get several tries to create two pieces each — could be a set of espresso cups, a short bud vase, small snack plates, etc. we encourage you to come in expecting a lot of hiccups, though — this is not the easiest thing you’ll ever do, but it’s definitely a great time and the less concern about outcome there is, the better your pots will turn out (always!)

we’ll also show you how to add decoration (if you’d like) with rollers, stamps and other texture tools. you’ll choose a glaze to finish your pieces with, and we’ll have them ready to pick up within 3 weeks of class.

because this is a private session, you’ll get a little extra clay + time to hang out and chill in the garden, and we have a fridge you can keep your drinks + snacks in 🐊

yo, teach! see all the details

all the lovely little details

what to expect in class:

what you’ll make:

some beautiful pots with a whole lot of personality!

students generally make 2-3 pieces each — could be bowls, plates, short cups. small vases, etc.

where we’ll make it:

class occurs outdoors in our covered backyard studio. expect flora, fauna, and general #florida phenomena. 

what you’ll keep:

you’ll get to keep any pieces you make, up to three pots each.

how we’ll glaze it:

we’ll coat your pieces in a clear glaze unless you choose to schedule a glazing day with us.

all pieces are food-safe once finished.

when you’ll get it:

we’ll text you when work is ready! please allow for 2-4 weeks of processing after class.

we appreciate the patience —this is a long process and we try hard to keep a steady schedule but sometimes things happen. we’ll keep in touch if so!

we will store work for 45 days after we text you your work is ready!!!

but also: life happens, just talk to us if you can’t get back to the studio in that time period and we will figure something out.

however, if we can’t get a hold of you, work will have to be sent to alternative storage (don’t worry, all pots go to heaven)

dress code? more like mess code…

make sure to dress for a mess, not for dinner!!

short nails, long pants, and closed-toed shoes are highly recommended. 

👇 good things to know

five wheels // five people to a class

we have a max of five people in wheel classes.

more than five? we’ll see if we can figure something out at the handbuilding table if you have a larger party. we teach many things beyond round things — pipe making, figure sculpting, etc — and the options are actually unlimited, so don’t hesitate to ask :)

how to find us:

here is a map to our studio!

you’re looking for a jungle house with a gravel driveway leading to a wooden gate. there’s big banyan tree in the front yard.

carpool if you can! we have room for one or two cars in the driveway.

you can also park on the street / swale under the trees (but not on the sidewalk, please!)

where to go when you get here:

you are there, we are here

once you’ve arrived, follow the gravel driveway to the sculpture at the wooden gate, we’ll come open up for ya.
