Beginner Pottery Wheel Class

About this event

Class Overview

Each session accommodates 4 participants and lasts for 1.5 hours, with the last 30 minutes dedicated to cleanup. Registration is mandatory, and participants are expected to assist with the cleanup process. Please wear clothes suitable for getting dirty, as the hands-on experience may lead to a bit of mess!

Clay Drying and Firing Process

Clay requires ample time to dry slowly to avoid cracking. Typically, this process takes about 2.5 weeks, followed by an additional 3 days for firing. We will contact you to arrange a return visit for painting your piece. After painting, we will glaze fire your pottery and notify you when it is ready for pickup. Please note that all pots will be stored for 30 days post-glaze firing—NO EXCEPTIONS.

No class refunds are available due to limited class size and availability. This class is open to individuals aged 12 and above, including adults.
