Pottery Wheel Throwing Course: Four-week

Recent reviews of Pottery Wheel Throwing Course: Four-week

• 5/5 from Haitham Jendoubi, attended Oct 2026: This is an incredible intro to throwing pottery, trimming, and glazing. Pete was a patient and fun teacher, and although there were students at different levels there was more than enough guidance for newbies (like me). I’m excited to take more classes!
• 5/5 from Valery Lopez, attended Oct 2025: Absolutely loved it! Our instructor was super fun and knowledgeable. He was really sweet and caring as well. Everyone in the class was able to make quite a few pieces!
• 5/5 from Margeaux Gould, attended Jun 2025: Pete was a great teacher!!! I learned so much in a short amount of time. This class taught us the basic framework of different aspects of pottery, and gave us free time to apply these techniques to our pieces in creative and unique ways. I love that we got to take full ownership of our work from beginning to end stages.
• 5/5 from Nancy Gerson, attended Mar 2025: This was the most enjoyable fun 3 week session. The teacher was amazing. It is the perfect place to be introduced to pottery making. I will continue for sure
• 5/5 from Katie Bergin, attended Mar 2025: The three week course was great! You get to learn each step of pottery - wheel throwing, trimming and glaze! It was such a fun and supportive environment! I’d definitely recommend!
• 5/5 from Elizabeth Bowen, attended Jan 2025: Awesome class! The instructor made it a fun experience on top of providing guidance and teaching to improve techniques. The fellow classmates brought a great vibe to the class of camaraderie. I’d recommend it!
• 5/5 from Manasa Gummalla, attended Jan 2025: Incredible! I loved the class, the glaze optionality, the creative instructor (Mariana was the best).
• 5/5 from John Sanchez, attended Nov 2024: Loved that this class provided us the opportunity to really practice each step of the process, and not just with one piece, but four in my case. By the end of each 2 hour class I felt like I head really learned the techniques taught that day, whereas at the onset I was worried I'd be rushing through and just going through the motions. Highly recommend!
• 5/5 from Joshua Kirby, attended Oct 2024: Really enjoyed my three week course. Was great to get creative after work and centered with the clay. Marianna was a fun and helpful instructor. Nice group of people in a chill environment. Highly recommend, and I’ll be back!
• 5/5 from Amanda Cori Daugherty, attended Jul 2024: I took a 3-week pottery wheel throwing class and it was great! It was a small class which was really nice. The instructor, Celia (spell?) was great! Patient, skilled, kind, funny, and just a positive attitude all around!
• 5/5 from Lindsay Silk-Kremenak, attended Mar 2024: I was seeking out something relaxing to do after work and loved wheel throwing when I was in college. This did not disappoint! The instructor gave great demos, answered all questions thrown at her and showed such enthusiasm and patience with the class. We were encouraged to come to studio hours to practice and make more pieces. The way the studio has it laid out on how the glazes can come out was great and informative. I can't wait to see how they turn out! And will definitely be signing up for the 6 week class next!
• 5/5 from Sonia Parada, attended Jan 2024: Loved the class! The teacher was great and it was a fun experience. Def recommend
• 5/5 from Vijaya Mohan, attended Dec 2023: I was a newbie to pottery and had just enrolled in one 2hr session before I decided to opt for this course. To my surprise, I thoroughly enjoyed this Course, learning all the different aspects that the Teacher so very patiently went over and explained, besides showing a Demo in every class. There were ample materials provided, be it the raw clay or the glazing and students were given a free rein to use them to create as many items as we could. We were also allowed to view other students' pieces, to learn from them. I loved the spacious studio, at a walking distance from all the modes of commute - Port Authority bus terminal to the Subway stations. The timing of the classes was convenient to dopy in after work, and we were also given a choice of attending the Tuesday class if we missed the regular Monday one. I will definitely recommend this Course to everyone, be they a newbie like me or an experienced creative hand. The teacher is well experienced and guides each student according to his/her skill. In the Demos, he not only showed us how to do it the right way, but also went over the possible errors we could end up doing and how to rectify them.
• 5/5 from Celine Harms, attended Nov 2023: Great teacher, great course! The space is new and fully equipped-we could do everything from throwing on the wheel, trimming and glazing. I learned a lot but more importantly I had lots of fun :-)
• 5/5 from Studio Marchetti, attended Oct 2023: I just finished my second wheel throwing 4-session class with Lu at Pottery NYC. What a great class and what a fantastic teacher! As a beginner (twice!), I made enormous strides in throwing techniques, and I'm super-pleased with what I produced. I'm only sorry that Lu doesn't offer an intermediate class, because I'd be there in a heartbeat. I recommend this studio and this teacher highly!
• 5/5 from Esha, attended Sep 2023: The class was so fun! It was a great environment and I learned the basics of throwing in the wheel
• 5/5 from Avery Jeon, attended Sep 2023: Pete is an amazing instructor and the course was so much fun! It is very beginner friendly and had no problem enjoying the course having zero experience in pottery
• 5/5 from Ellen Kim, attended Aug 2023: This class was great and useful to learn the whole process. Lou is a great teacher.
• 5/5 from Matthew Danis, attended Aug 2023: Lou was our instructor and from day one was so helpful. I learned so much in practicing my technique. I am really looking forward to seeing my final pieces in a couple weeks once the glaze is fired!

• 5/5 from Dakota Derryberry, attended Jul 2023: Lou is a star! Very knowledgeable and a wonderful teacher. Also, generally a fun person. The class was great. Only con is the small wheels, but excellent for starting out or getting back into ceramics.
• 5/5 from Natalie O'Brien, attended May 2023: I did the 4 week pottery class and it was so much fun. Lou was a great teacher and looking forward to throwing 1.5!

• 5/5 from Kathryn Lurie, attended May 2023: This class was a lot of fun and Lou is fantastic! So patient and funny and kind. The only thing I'd say to improve the class is to have a longer one - several more sessions so that more time can be used throwing and maybe have an option where you can go in on your own time to practice. I'd like to be able to get good at this somehow! :) Thanks for a great class, Lou
• 5/5 from Shannan Tims, attended Apr 2023: I had such a lovely time at this Pottery Course and would recommend to anyone who is looking to learn, or even just for some relaxing fun! Our teacher, Lou, was amazing - she had such great vibes and made my first try at wheel throwing easy to navigate. I want to come back for more courses already :)
• 5/5 from Aayesha Ayub, attended Apr 2023: I had an amazing time here! My teacher Lou was phenomenal- very sweet and helped us a ton. Lou’s presence truly made this class that much more enjoyable. The facility is nice and our time is spent well here with two days of wheel throwing, one day of trimming our pieces, and the last day for glazing. I definitely had a learning curve but Lou helped me through my mistakes to ensure I ended up with some great experiences. I loved this experience so much that I’ll be back for another course!
• 5/5 from Kayla Kendall, attended Mar 2023: This class was perfect for beginners! Lou, the instructor was really patient with us as we were practicing and learning techniques. They were also very thorough when demonstrating, which is always helpful as a beginner! It was fun seeing how everyone’s pieces turned out at the end of the class as well. Overall great value! Would recommend to a friend :)
• 5/5 from Steve Marchetti, attended Mar 2023: Pretty much ever aspect of this class was stellar.

I will definitely take another class here!
• 5/5 from Jen Begazo, attended Mar 2023: Lou was such a great and supportive teacher! All the necessary materials were provided with helpful guidance. The atmosphere and other learners in the class were a lot of fun to be around. I found myself looking forward to every Tuesday and was really sad that the class only lasted 4 weeks. Definitely worth the experience and very very very happy with the end result! Will come back for more classes!
