Explore pottery with no experience necessary in this LA wheel throwing class! Join solo or bring a friend along for your artistic adventure. You'll have an experienced instructor to guide you through the basics and set you up for success.
With all of the materials, tools, and instruction provided for you, you will be able to explore pottery for the first time with ease! Your instructor will prep a few balls of clay for you to work with, and then you will start throwing on the pottery wheel. Your teacher will provide as much guidance and assistance as you need or desire so that you can create at your own pace at the wheel.
You may make as many pieces as you want during our session. Practice makes perfect, but this class is focused on having fun! At the end of the session, you may select your favorite piece to be fired and glazed. Following our class, your projects will be fully dried, fired and finished in glaze to create a unique piece of functional art. Each additional piece can be fired and glazed for $15 each.

Adewole Arts is a welcoming ceramics studio located in the coastal community of San Pedro, Los Angeles. Nestled inside "Crafted at the Port of Los Angeles, " a beautifully restored 1940s warehouse turned artisan marketplace, the studio is surrounded by a vibrant mix of artists, vendors, and some of LA’s best sweet treat creators.
Founded by self-taught ceramicist April Adewole, Adewole Arts reflects nearly a decade of exploration, creativity, and deep love for the craft. During the week, April creates her own pottery in the “Kitchen” studio space, and on weekends, she invites others to come play with clay, helping new and returning students connect, flirt, and form a relationship with the material.
The studio is open to all—families, pets, and people of every background—and shares its courtyard with food trucks, a lively market, and neighboring Brouwerij West beer garden. Whether you’re here to create, shop, or simply soak in the artistic energy, Adewole Arts offers a space to slow down, get your hands dirty, and make something meaningful.
