one-on-one one off class

This one-off private wheel-throwing session is perfect for anyone who wants to try pottery, work on their skills, or simply enjoy some creative time at the wheel. You’ll get personalized, one-on-one guidance throughout the session, with plenty of hands-on time to create your pieces. No prior experience is required.

Introduction to the Pottery Wheel: Learn the basics of wheel throwing, including how to center the clay and create your first pieces (such as bowls or small cylinders).

1. Hands-On Instruction: Receive personalized guidance throughout the session, tailored to your skill level and goals.

2. Creative Time: Focus on exploring shapes and forms, whether you’re a beginner learning the basics or an intermediate student working on refining your technique.

No firing or glazing included: This is a "create and take" class, meaning you'll get to keep the pieces you make after the session, but they will not be fired or glazed.

1. Optional Additional Service: If you’d like your pieces fired and glazed, you can choose to add this service for an additional cost.

   • Firing and Glazing: [$25 additional fee per piece]

   • Pickup/Delivery info: 5-6 weeks from lesson date

   Next Steps:

   If you enjoy your time at the wheel, you can choose to continue learning with additional private lessons (trimming, glazing, etc.). Simply let me know on the day, and we can schedule your next session without the need for long-term commitment.
