Ready, Set, Clay
Enter a relaxed, friendly studio with all materials ready and expert guidance on hand. Perfect for beginners!
See the Wheel in Action
Watch your instructor demo the basics: centering, pulling, and shaping clay. It’s your first glimpse into the magic of wheel throwing.
Dive Into Throwing
Get hands-on and feel the wheel spin beneath your fingers as you start shaping your own bowls, cups, or other unique creations. You’ll work with up to three pounds of clay to bring your ideas to life.
Find Your Rhythm
Try shaping different forms at your own pace with your teacher’s support. It’s a great chance to switch off, focus, and enjoy the calming flow of the wheel.
Pick Your Winners
Choose up to three favorites to leave behind. Your teacher will trim, glaze, and fire them, making your pieces durable, food-safe, and ready to enjoy for years to come.
Keep the Fun Going
Want to spend more time throwing? For a small fee, your teacher can handle the studio tidying while you continue creating.
Take Home Your Treasures
After 4-6 weeks, your finished pieces will be ready to pick up. Take home a beautiful, handmade memory of your clay adventure!
- We have two San Francisco studios, so please double-check which location you're booking.
- Please arrive 10 minutes early so we can start on time. Once we begin, the doors are locked, and we move into the studio area — if you arrive late we may not know you're at the door, and the studio phone doesn't ring where we can hear it, so please don't call.

Would highly recommend this class! I felt like the class was very accessible as a newbie, and fun. I learned a bunch and there's a lot of opportunity to make what what you want and just play around with the clay.
- 5/5 from Mary Yuen, attended Sep 2026: The class was a great introduction to pottery! Victor was patient and went around helping everyone when it was time to make our individual pieces. We also came late, but thankfully he still allowed us to join in. He helped set our clay up and caught us up to speed with the others. We could make up to 3 pieces and the glaze was chosen for us beforehand. I hope my pieces come out good! Would come again to practice my pottery skills!

- 5/5 from Suchita Agrawal, attended Aug 2026: Lisa was gentle and guided with a quiet confidence. It was my first introduction to pottery. Waiting to see how the pieces we created turn out after the glazing and firing.

- 5/5 from Lisa M Warner-Carey, attended Aug 2026: Great class! Lots of fun. Good instruction and great encouragement. Made three items. Takes a bit further to be fired and ready for pickup.

- 5/5 from Samantha Chen, attended Aug 2026: Super fun class that my friends and I booked to my birthday! The teacher was informative and helpful! I do wish the teacher was more hands on but I had a blast!
- 5/5 from Carl Schultz, attended Jul 2026: Kaytea was great! We enjoyed the class and it was fun to learn a little bit of history too!
- 5/5 from Steve Mowles, attended Jul 2026: Lisa is a great teacher. Very welcoming and patient. She made the whole experience fun.
- 5/5 from Arlene Mowles, attended Jul 2026: Lisa is an amazing teacher and person. She put a lot of effort in helping us make a pottery piece. She is kind, thoughtful, encouraging, patient and has a great sense of humor. She made the class worth while. She knows a lot about pottery and keeping people engaged. It couldn’t have been better!
- 5/5 from Chloe Kang, attended Jul 2026: Very fun experience and worth it.
- 5/5 from Noko O., attended Jul 2026: The class was a fun intro to wheel throwing pottery. The absolute highlight of the class though was the instructor, Victor. He was so thorough, polite, and encouraging. His calm demeanor and enthusiasm truly brought a positive vibe to the class. He was helpful explaining the process but also gave such great analogies in regards to how to handle the clay and practicing techniques.
- 5/5 from Sukeshi O, attended Jul 2026: So fun! Great beginner class. Will definitely go again.
- 5/5 from Tina Williams, attended Jul 2026: Katie was great and very patient. I would recommend this class. I had never done it before and I had a great time.
- 5/5 from Mariana Monteiro Duarte, attended Jul 2026: Lisa was super knowledgeable, helpful, and encouraging. I really loved the structure of the wheel pottery class. We first made a piece while watching her demonstration and listening to her explanations, and then we had time to explore and practice on our own while she was available to answer questions and help us. The whole experience was very interesting and enjoyable. There was another group in our workshop who were very friendly and talkative, which made the atmosphere even more fun. I highly recommend this class! You make three pieces, and at the end, they finish and fire them for you so you can pick them up later. It was a fantastic experience!
- 5/5 from Henry Chen, attended Jul 2026: Lisa was amazing! Taught us very clearly and she was very kind and helpful!
- 5/5 from Josephine Lee, attended Jul 2026: Katie was very helpful and encouraging! I loved our pottery class.
- 3/5 from Nina Robertson, attended Jul 2026: I thought Itai gave prety good instruction at first but then when he was "done" he just checked out and told us to do our projects while he did other work. This was a two hour class, and I expected him to stay engaged and provide instruction and guidance as needed for the full two hours. We were all beginners struggling with our first attempts. I think he is very good at teaching, just needs to stay present.
- 5/5 from Cindy Goldfield, attended Jun 2026: Jason made everything super accessible and welcoming, even for someone who had never touched a wheel before. i even was able to make a little set of cup, bowl and saucer in the time allotted. Super fun process. I had orignally extra to not do the cleanup, but i found the whole process enjoyable so I pitched in so I could get an idea of everything involved
- 5/5 from Jackie, attended Jun 2026: Kaytea was such a great instructor! She helped me create a goblet and showed me the proper technique.
- 5/5 from Brad Schumacher, attended Jun 2026: Victor was such a treat and so incredibly helpful for our first time wheel throwing. This was a smaller class which was a huge benefit. If you are reading these reviews to help tip the scale one way or the other on whether or not to book....JUST BOOK IT!
- 5/5 from Aditi Jha, attended Jun 2026: Really fun class. Jason is a nice instructor, and everyone was able to make a few decent looking pieces.
- 5/5 from Christopher Lum, attended Jun 2026: I did this as a belated Father's Day event with my 3 kids. It was a blast! Victor was very patient and helpful getting out of tough spots when the clay started to rebel. I am going to take my nieces next time. We got three pieces of clay, which about all the time will allow and I could definitely see steady improvement.
- 5/5 from Anny Oor, attended May 2026: Great class! Instructor was helpful when we needed it but also let us be creative and try it ourselves.
- 5/5 from Shannon Dempsey, attended May 2026: Jaz was great! My mom and I had fun!
- 5/5 from Laura Verduzco, attended May 2026: Quick intro to using the pottery wheel, which I was intrigued about. We were given three chances (three pieces of clay) and I was able to work on all three. I made three pieces of something that will become microwaveable earthward. After you finish, they glaze them and bake them for you. I’ll pick up my pieces in a few weeks. I ended up splattering clay all over my clothes (I was the only one), so wear clothes that you’re ok with getting dirty, including shoes. Making something is not as hard as I thought. The most difficult part was making the thing taller without ruining it.
- 5/5 from Bianca Camacho, attended May 2026: Class was great! Had a good time.
- 5/5 from Esteban Artundunduaga, attended May 2026: Lisa was an amazing, patient and very kind teacher, especially for two beginners who weren’t sure what they were doing. The class was instructive and fun. Would recommend and return!
- 5/5 from Hilda Gutierrez, attended May 2026: I loved the class! The teacher was nice and I learned a lot!
- 5/5 from Savannah Goetze, attended May 2026: Victor was a great teacher and taught us all what we needed to get started! What a fun and memorable experience - thank you!
- 5/5 from Anastasia Barnes, attended May 2026: As a Mother's Day gift, I signed my mom and I up for this class. We had a such a great time! Our teacher, Kaytea, was attentive and had a great sense of humor. She was also super caring and made sure each person in the class was able to succeed at making a few pieces. My mom and I had the best time and would absolutely love to take another class with Kaytea!
- 5/5 from Baudelia Gallo, attended May 2026: Erin was great! Very helpful and knowledgeable
- 5/5 from Carolyn Blakeman, attended May 2026: Jason was very relaxed, encouraging, and helpful!
- 5/5 from Melissa Tran, attended May 2026: Victor was so nice and had a great calming presence. He was very attentive to students and really encouraged everyone's creativity. I would rate him even more stars if I could.
