What to expect at San Francisco wheel throwing classes
Step into your local pottery studio and immerse yourself in the art of ceramic making. Whether you're a complete beginner or have some experience, your passionate makers will help you become more familiar with the pottery wheel and create your own unique piece that you’ll cherish for years to come. During the class, you'll learn basic techniques like centering and shaping the clay to whatever you desire, from a cute coffee mug to a decoration platter. You'll also gain an understanding of how to work with different types of clay and glazes and see your pieces look amazing once they come out of the kiln.
Wheel throwing classes are typically held in small groups so that you can receive individual attention from your teacher. We design our workshops to be fun and relaxing, making it perfect for bonding with your loved ones and sharing a passion for pottery. Most importantly, creating your own hand-crafted piece can be deeply rewarding, so expect to feel a sense of accomplishment by the end of each class! Add some unique decor to your home or use it every day as a now cherished item forever in your kitchen. So what are you waiting for?

Wheel throwing is great for wellbeing
Wheel throwing is more than just a new skill or craft—it’s an opportunity to indulge in mindfulness, tap into your inner creativity and boost your wellbeing. As you sink your hands into clay, it helps to slow down your mind and focus on shaping and forming the clay into your own unique ceramic piece. The feeling of accomplishment you get after creating something beautiful with your own hands can also provide a sense of self-confidence and inspiration to try wheel throwing again. Keen to try it for yourself? Bring your friends and family along to a pottery workshop and have the best, fun day with clay. Who knows, you just might have found your new 2024 hobby!
