Pottery for beginners

If you've never tried your hand at wheel throwing before, never fear, these handmade pottery classes are all beginner-friendly, so no experience is necessary to have a great time. We offer a variety of pottery making classes to suit different interests and occasions – from fascinating one-off sessions focusing on Japanese pottery, to longer courses, spanning several weeks, that teach you everything you ever wanted to know about clay sculpting.  

Whichever class takes your fancy, you'll be taught by a friendly and experienced local potter who will share their wealth of knowledge with you and help you gain confidence with the clay wheel. They will patiently guide you step by step through the process of wheel throwing, showing you the best ways to gently sculpt the clay into the shapes that you want. They will also give you top tips on how to personalize your pots, so they will look amazing when you take them home with you and give you a warm glow of pride every time you look at them. 

Just wait and see - it won’t be long before you're cheerfully hand-building pottery masterpieces, painting ceramic pots in gorgeous rainbow colors to give as gifts to your best buds, and maybe even planning to surprise your nearest and dearest with pottery parties for their next birthday!

What to expect at Los Angeles pottery classes

If you've never been to a pottery throwing workshop before, don’t worry – these fun-filled Los Angeles classes are designed to build your confidence in a laidback and friendly way, with a firm emphasis on fun. Whether you want to master the basics of clay hand building, enjoy some soothing sessions of ceramic painting, or learn how to repair broken pieces of handmade pottery and restore them to their former glory, there's a class that’s just perfect for you! 

Of course, a beginners pottery class isn’t just a great learning opportunity, it’s also a unique way to meet other creative people and maybe even make new friends. On the other hand, you could book a private pottery making class to celebrate a special occasion. These workshops make fantastic birthday party ideas and Los Angeles experience gifts for the creative people in your life. 

So, what are you waiting for? Head down to your local pottery studio, and prepare for a fascinating masterclass in wheel throwing from a talented local expert. 

Pottery is great for your wellbeing 

As you'll soon discover when you sign up for a beginners pottery class in Los Angeles, taking some time out from your hectic schedule to get your hands dirty and work with clay is a wonderful way to relax and put your worries behind you. Making handmade pottery has been shown to help improve mindfulness, reduce stress, and boost your mood – now that’s what we call art therapy!

If you feel like you’ve been stuck in a bit of a rut lately, learning to sculpt and paint your own pottery is also the perfect activity to reawaken your creative spark and help you to feel inspired. Everyone needs to channel their creativity on a regular basis to stay happy and healthy, and these ceramic classes in Los Angeles provide a relaxing and encouraging place to do just that.
