4-Week Pottery Wheel | November 2025

Looking to dive into the world of pottery or keep building on your skills? This 4-week Pottery wheel class is designed for beginners and returning students alike (ages 12-adult). Each session gives you hands-on instruction in throwing, trimming and glazing your pottery. 

Because this is a repeatable class, students can progress at their own pace - whether it's your very first time on the wheel or you're ready to refine your technique and take on more challenging projects. 

November Themed Project: Cookie Jar 

This month, students will focus on creating a one-of-a-kind cookie jar - complete with lid and decorative details. You'll learn the techniques behind throwing taller forms, fitting lids, and finishing with glazes to create a piece that's both functional and fun. It's a perfect seasonal project to bring warmth (and treats!) to your home or to give as a handmade holiday gift.
