Workshops & Classes

Private Pottery Wheel Throwing Sessions for Beginners & Novices

Explore the potter’s wheel in a private two hour session at Pottery Piazza designed for beginners and anyone new to clay. An instructor leads you from the first pinch to finished form, covering how to center the clay, open it, and lift the walls to create simple shapes. Each participant has a dedicated wheel and can make up to three pieces, such as bowls, cups, or small vases. After the work is fired, you return to the studio to glaze your creations. Sessions take place on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays with multiple time slots each weekend, and they can accommodate one to five people. The experience is suitable for ages 10 and up, with children under 10 welcome when a parent also participates. It works well for date nights, celebrations with friends, family outings, or a creative hangout. Anyone eager to continue can follow a multi session path. Purchase three sessions and receive a fourth at no additional charge. Choose dates from the available schedule, build skills week by week from foundational throwing to adding handles, using stamps, and glazing methods, and enjoy complimentary open wheel practice sessions between classes.
