Our most popular offering and the best art therapy in town, this pottery wheel class invites you to turn your clay dreams into reality. Under the expert guidance of Gretchen, you’ll learn how to throw forms on the pottery wheel using white low-fire clay, as well as master hand-building techniques like creating handles for mugs, slabs for platters, and coils for animal bowls. To finish, your creations will be decorated with colorful glazes and made food-safe, giving you functional art to enjoy for years to come.

  • A hands-on pottery wheel class with instruction in both throwing and hand-building techniques. You’ll explore creative glazing methods, including underglazes, crystals, and earthy experimental styles, all in a welcoming and fun environment.

  • 2-hour class
  • All materials and tools included
  • Pieces are kiln-fired up to 2,000°F and ready in two weeks (shipping available)

I’ve taken pottery classes in past and really struggled with the wheel. With this instructor I actually got a centered, even, cute little cup! This was a great class and a super fun family day. Thank you!

I’ve taken this experience with Gretchen a couple of times, one being for my birthday with a few family members. The learning style is really easy going and Gretchen makes things easy for people like myself who have no idea what they’re doing.
