What you'll do

Join our exciting wheel-throwing class in Brooklyn and unleash your inner artist! In this ceramics workshop, learn the timeless art of pottery making through hands-on experience. Discover how to center and shape clay to create your own unique pieces. No prior experience is needed; we welcome beginners with open arms!

Throughout the class, our skilled instructor will guide you step by step, ensuring a supportive and encouraging environment. You'll be amazed at how quickly you pick up the techniques and start creating beautiful pottery. Working with high-quality materials, you'll feel the therapeutic effects of molding clay on the pottery wheel.

By the end of the class, you’ll have crafted your own set of handmade pottery to take home. Choose your glaze color, and the studio will paint and fire your pieces for you. They may take up to 4–5 weeks to be ready for pickup. This NYC wheel-throwing class is a fun creative outlet where you can learn a new skill and leave with something you made yourself.
