Feel the clay spin beneath your hands in this beginner-friendly wheel throwing class in San Diego! Perfect for first-time potters and anyone looking for a fun activity, this one-time class is an easy introduction to the art of wheel throwing.
Your instructor will guide you through the basics of working on the pottery wheel, from centering the clay to shaping it into your own handmade piece. You’ll have plenty of support throughout the session, making it easy to enjoy the process, regardless of your experience level. The experience is hands-on, a little messy (in the best way), and incredibly satisfying as you watch your piece take shape.
This workshop is perfect if you're searching for wheel throwing for beginners, creative date ideas, outings with friends, or fun things to do in San Diego. At the end of class, choose from a selection of glazes to finish your pottery, and the studio team will handle the firing process. Your completed piece will be ready for pickup in approximately 3–4 weeks.
Please note:
  • Our team will reach out when your piece is ready for pickup!
  • Shipping is available for an additional fee. We do not ship internationally.
