What we will be doing
đĄ Just curious? Even better.
This is your chance to dip a toe (or both hands!) into the wild, whirling world of the pottery wheel â no pressure, no experience needed. In this wheel-throwing taster workshop, youâll learn how to center, pull, and shape clay like a true ceramic boss. Itâs messy, magical, and way more satisfying than your average Saturday scroll session.
Youâll get hands-on with the basics of wheel-throwing â and walk away with at least one piece to call your own. Plus, youâll leave knowing whether this hobby is a fling or the beginning of a full-blown love affair.
No experience necessary. Just bring your curiosity â weâll handle the spin cycle.
