Description

Get your hands in the clay and learn the basics of wheel throwing in this NYC pottery class.

Watch a demonstration of centering clay, opening a form and pulling the walls of a cup or bowl, then practice at your own wheel. Class time includes cleanup. Each participant receives one fired, glazed piece for pickup one week later.

Looking for a creative date night, a unique team-building activity, or just a satisfying way to spend a few hours this weekend? Pottery wheel throwing is one of the most absorbing, hands-on experiences available in the city.

Knowledge required:

  • None, totally beginner-friendly.

What you'll get:

  • Materials to work with, plus one fired piece that will be glazed for you.

What to bring:

  • Wear clothes you don't mind getting messy and tie your hair back. We suggest trimming your nails before the session and removing jewelry from your hands and wrists.

Suitable for:

  • This class is great for a team-building activity, birthday, or bachelorette party.
  • This would also be a unique gift for her, a gift for mom, an anniversary gift or a birthday gift.

Note:

We are excited to share the joy of clay with you! Please note that when you book a class with us, you are paying for the instructional experience, studio time, materials, and the guidance of our instructors, rather than a guaranteed finished product. 

Ceramics is an unpredictable art form that goes through many stages—from shaping and drying to complex bisque and glaze firings. While we do our very best to guide your pieces safely through the kiln, ceramics can occasionally crack, warp, or break during the firing process due to natural physical properties.

Complimentary Firing: As a complimentary part of the class experience, we include the firing and glazing for one piece per person (selected by you at the end of the session).

No Guarantees: Because of the inherent risks involved in firing pottery, finished pieces are not guaranteed, and studio fees are non-refundable in the rare event that a piece is damaged during the firing process.

We appreciate your understanding and look forward to getting our hands dirty with the creative process together!

    I went into it expecting pottery wheel throwing to be a lot easier than it was - this is definitely an advanced activity for a team, but our instructor was helpful, kind and patient. Note that you'll have to clean up after (not a big deal, just not expected for the cost of the class) and that you'll have to go back about a week later to pick up your finished pottery.

    My team had a great experience here. We all learned and tried something new and it was challenging and fun. Our instructor was so helpful and we'd definitely do it again.
