There is something deeply satisfying about turning a lump of clay into something you made with your own two hands -- and this wheel throwing class in Dana Point is your chance to find out exactly what that feels like! Whether you’re hunting for unique things to do in Dana Point, planning one of those date ideas that actually makes for a good story, or just ready to try something new, this is the creative activity you didn’t know you needed.
Classes are kept intentionally small -- just one to two people -- so you get real, personalized attention from start to finish. You’ll work directly on the pottery wheel, learning how to center clay, pull walls, and shape your very own forms, all at your own pace in a fun, supportive environment. Every lesson is hands-on and fully customized to you, so wherever you’re starting from, you’ll be met right there.
Once your pieces are shaped, they go through a two to three week finishing process -- drying, bisque firing, glazing, and a final firing -- so the good stuff is worth the wait. You’ll choose your glaze colors, and the trimming and glazing are handled for you. Finished pieces can be picked up at Junction 22 (110 22nd St Unit A, Newport Beach, CA 92663) or delivered straight to your door. This pottery studio experience is the kind you’ll be talking about long after the clay washes off!

Recent reviews of Pottery Wheel Throwing Class

  • 5/5 from Allison Pamintuan, attended Nov 2026: Hattie is 100% awesome as a teacher and a person. This was my partner’s first class and my 3rd, so I loved that this was a private class because she took the time to show us all the steps on a wheel prior to us actually making our own pieces and helped us when we were struggling. She even supported me when I became overly ambitious and started to make an ornament! I believe we got to make 4 pieces each (based on how much you have time for vs. limited to 2 pieces like my previous classes) and pick glazes. I think all of our pieces turned out great and we’re excited to see how they look. If we lived closer, I know I’d find a way to take a couple more classes from her because of how beautiful her pieces are and how down to earth she is. Her studio is also chef’s kiss. 10/10 recommend.

Hi! I’m Hattie, the ceramic artist and owner behind Handmade Hattie! Ceramics has been my creative home since I was 16, when I first fell in love with clay in my high school ceramics classroom. I still remember the excitement of opening the kiln for the first time. It felt like Christmas morning! I loved that there was always an element of surprise, from seeing how a glaze transformed in the kiln to embracing the little imperfections that made each piece completely unique.
What started as a creative outlet eventually grew into Handmade Hattie, where I now create handmade ceramics and share my love of clay through classes and workshops throughout Orange County.
Teaching has become one of my favorite parts of what I do. I love watching someone come into a class convinced they aren't creative or won't be good at pottery, and then leave genuinely proud of what they made. My goal is to make ceramics feel approachable, relaxed, and fun, whether you're trying the pottery wheel for the first time, hand-building with clay, or painting a piece I've handmade in my studio.
I graduated from Chapman University in 2024 and have since turned Handmade Hattie into my full-time business. Today, I teach everything from intimate one-on-one wheel throwing lessons to private parties, community workshops, and larger group and team-building events. I love that ceramics gives people a reason to slow down, use their hands, and spend a few hours creating something that's entirely their own.
One of my favorite things about pottery is how much happens behind the scenes. After a class, I take every piece back to my studio, where it slowly dries before being fired, glazed, and fired again. What you make in a couple of hours actually continues its little journey in my studio for weeks before becoming a finished piece you can use and keep. There's something really special about that process, and getting to share a craft that's been such a big part of my life since I was 16 makes teaching it even more meaningful to me!
