What do I make?

There's lots you can make on the wheel and it's all fun! If this is your first time go with the flow of the clay. Everyone makes roughly 2-3 pieces of pottery. It can range from abstract vases to bowls, pet dishes or tumblers. We do not have a size restriction for height or width of your pieces!

How this workshop works

  • Sign up online, over the phone or by visiting the studio.
  • Day of: Dress for Mess! We recommend wearing clothes you can get muddy in. Think rainy day gardening muddy.
  • Show up 5-15 minutes early. We promise we're friendly, there's lots to see in our studio PLUS sometimes there are dogs here!
  • The teacher will demo the wheel and give you an overview as to how it works. They can be hands on and will help centre clay for you.
  • Cleanup is a shared activity. Everyone lends a hand and is responsible for cleaning their space.
Is it your first time?

THAT IS AWESOME! We love sharing our love of clay and everything we've learned through years & years (and more years) of playing with clay. This workshop is fantastic for trying out the wheel and introducing yourself to pottery. If it's your first time or even second, don't put any pressure on yourself. Just have fun or get meditative and go with the flow of the clay. If you have questions about pottery before, during or after the class then please ask us! 


Reminder: Practice makes a master. You may have seen lots of gorgeous handmade pieces you want to replicate or take inspiration from, but remember you don't see the 100s or 1000s of failed pieces those artists made. If this is one of your first times playing with clay focus on the experience and we'll all do our best to make sure you have a piece to be proud of to take home!




Hot Tips


  • Rings and wrist jewelry can make it hard to throw as well as long fingernails!
  • DRESS FOR MESS! Or bring a change of clothes

Pick Up

There's a saying  "nothing like pottery to teach you patience". We trim, bisque fire, glaze & glaze fire your pieces for you. Pieces usually take 2-5 weeks. Your pieces will be trimmed and marked with your initials or name as well as a colour dot to correspond with your date. We email everyone when the pieces are ready for pick up. We fire according to size and best fit in the kiln. You pieces will be initialed so give yourself time to find them when you come!

Because we all want to create, but stay safe at the same time we have some new guidelines in place. Brush up on our class policies before registering:
