If you're curious about pottery making and want a crash course on the basics, give this NYC class a go! It's a chance for complete beginners to try their hand at the potter's wheel throwing with colorful clay, resulting in random swirled effects.
In this pottery class, you will be shown the basics via a short demonstration of how to make a shallow dish or bowl shape on the pottery wheel. Then, you'll be guided along as you try it yourself. The spin? The clay you use will be colored clay. The end result will be a stunning combination of marbled streaks that are totally random!
Class time includes intros, demonstration, working time, and cleanup time for the last fifteen minutes.
Whether you're looking for date night ideas, team-building activities, or just something fun to try this weekend in NYC, this class is a great option. Come sink your hands into some clay and make a piece of glazed pottery that you'll be sure to treasure!

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!
