Our private classes are tailored to offer a personalized learning experience for your group. Great for a corporate team building activity, bachelorette party, or birthday celebration, choose between Wheel Throwing and Hand-building sessions.

Hand-Building:

The hand-building class is 2 hours long and introduces you to working with clay using your hands. Hand-building class offers a organic and relaxed approach, making it a good starting point for getting familiar with with clay through simple tools and techniques like coiling and pinching. At the end of the class, you can keep your best piece, which we will fire and glaze for you. Your finished work will be ready for pick-up 5-6 weeks after the class.

Wheel Throwing:

Our private wheel throwing class is 2 hours long and provides an introduction to working on the pottery wheel. You'll learn essential skills needed to create a small cup or bowl on pottery wheel. Wheel throwing involves a more technical approach than Hand-building, which is ideal if you enjoy learning new skills. At the end of the class, you can choose your best piece, which we will fire and glaze for you. Your finished work will be ready for pick-up 5-6 weeks after the class.
