Ready to get your hands dirty and try something new? In this wheel-throwing class in Los Angeles, you’ll learn the basics of centering, pulling, and shaping clay on the pottery wheel. Whether you’re a total beginner or just curious about clay, this two-hour workshop is a fun and hands-on intro to the world of ceramics.
No need to bring anything—all materials and equipment are provided. After creating your piece, you’ll choose a glaze color (black, brown, or white), and we’ll handle the finishing touches. Your pottery will dry, go through two kiln firings, and transform from soft clay into a functional ceramic masterpiece.
About six weeks later, your food-safe creation will be ready for pickup—perfect for sipping, snacking, or just showing off. Whether it’s a creative date night, solo project, or something new to try with friends in LA, this wheel-throwing class is all about creativity and fun!

Clay CA is an artist-run ceramic studio located in Los Angeles’ Chinatown. The studio offers a range of workshops, equipment, a one-of-a-kind glaze chemistry room, pottery wheels, kiln space, and 24-hour studio space. CLAY CA is a community space meant to encourage creative growth and experimentation, along with investigating and understanding the structural form of clay. Given society’s hyperactive use of technology, we find that fostering a sense of community and being present are more important than ever. Our goal is to provide Los Angeles with more access to personal interactions, cognitive building skills, and ceramic knowledge. We welcome people of all backgrounds and places!
