What can I make in a one time class?
In a one-time class, you'll learn the fundamentals of wheel throwing, including how to center, pull, and shape clay. We'll guide you through making either a bowl or a cylinder, and you'll get to add your own creative touch with shaping techniques to make your piece truly unique.
I will be out of town, how long will my work be kept for?
We’ll hold onto your finished pieces for up to 2 months from the date of your class. After that, any unclaimed pottery will be donated to make room for new work coming through the studio.
Can out of town visitors take a one time class?
Yes, you can book a one-time class, and we'll ship the pottery to your home within 4-5 weeks. Please email us to coordinate the shipping details.

Your teacher
Ongoing Works is a pottery studio and creative community based in San Diego, California, rooted in the belief that there is real good in the act of making! Founded under the warm spirit of Misha Ceramics, they offer pottery classes and studio memberships for anyone ready to get their hands in the clay, whether it’s their very first time or they’re returning to the wheel with fresh eyes. Their thoughtfully handcrafted mugs, dinnerware, and home decor carry that same intention — pieces made to bring people together, spark creativity, and make everyday moments feel a little more special.What sets Ongoing Works apart is their whole-hearted embrace of the process over perfection. They genuinely believe that showing up, trying something new, and growing through the experience is what it’s all about. It’s a space that welcomes curiosity, celebrates the imperfect, and reminds us that creativity isn’t a destination — it’s something you keep returning to, again and again!
