About the Course

Join us for a hands-on, 6-week pottery wheel course designed for both beginners and those looking to refine their skills. This course focuses on learning at your own pace, experimenting with new techniques, and embracing the creative process—without the pressure of perfection.

Each session introduces a new skill, building upon the previous lessons to develop confidence and technique on the wheel. Our small class size ensures you receive individual guidance in a welcoming and relaxed environment.
