About this class

Earth, water, and your first thrown bowl.

A five-hour meditative session at the wheel. Centre, open and pull your first vessel with patient guidance from our resident ceramicist.

We'll fire your piece after class — pick it up a week later, glazed and ready for your table.

What you'll learn

Four skills you'll take home.

01

Wedging the clay

Prepare the clay for the wheel with the right tension and moisture.

02

Centring

The most important skill — find balance before you throw.

03

Opening & pulling

Create the form from a spinning lump of earth.

04

Trim, sign, fire

Finish your bowl, sign the bottom, and we’ll fire it for pickup.

What we provide

Just bring yourself.
