Recent reviews of Wheel Throwing Workshop

  • 5/5 from Patricia Washington, attended Mar 2024: Belen was so nice and informative! She was patient with us and worked great with my younger sister. The pieces themselves also came out very nice. I would highly recommend!
  • 5/5 from Raleigh Bennett Decker, attended Jan 2024: Had the very best time throwing clay at Terra Incognito! Our instructor, Belen, was super knowledgeable and patient with two rookie adults and two experienced teens. The set up is great -- the instructor sat up front and we had four wheels, two on each side of her. We brought in our own drinks and moved to a big table to paint our finished pieces the last 30 minutes of our reservation. I was happily surprised that we were able to make two pieces in the 90-minutes, and paint them. The final pieces will be fired and ready for pick up by the end of the month. I am hooked and can't wait to do this again!
  • 5/5 from Meggan Molinaro, attended Nov 2022: Everyone from my Chicago team loved this event. They told me they would probably be taking more pottery classes now. Teacher was great and made sure everyone understood each step Would recommend this class to anyone that has ever wanted to try pottery making but afraid to sign up
