Class Description

Description

Kick off your weekend with creativity, good vibes, and a drink in hand!

This two-hour Friday night workshop introduces you to the basics of throwing on the potter’s wheel—no prior experience required!

One of our skilled instructors will guide 12-13 students through essential wheel-throwing techniques. Whether you’re a beginner or have experience and are ready to work on more advanced projects, this class allows you to progress at your own pace. The session wraps up with 15 minutes of clean-up, so both you and your workspace are left tidied up!

Bring your favorite drinks. (wine, beer, or non-alcoholic options) and get ready to unwind with friends—new and old!

This relaxed and friendly environment makes it a great way to socialize, meet people, and bond over shared creativity.

Each class includes one finished piece, which will be cleaned, glazed, and fired with a shiny white glaze. We’ll notify you by email in approximately four weeks when your piece is ready for pickup. If you create extra pieces, they can be glazed and fired for $15 each.

Come for the pottery, stay for the fun—there’s no better way to spend your Friday night!

What's Included

Cost includes instruction, clay, tools, towels, glaze, and the firing of one piece/person. Additional pieces can be fired for a $15 fee, cash only under $25.

  • Sip & Spin Pottery Workshop

    It was a great team building exercise that helped me, as their new leader, assess how they managed the task - of drinking & spinning.
  • Sip & Spin Pottery Workshop

    Great class. Instructor was patient and knowledgeable. Very accommodating to amateurs. Highly recommend this course. We were celebrating a birthday. So much fun.
  • Sip & Spin Pottery Workshop

    Mike, the instructor, was great. My husband and I had fun and we got a memento to take home.
  • Sip & Spin Pottery Workshop

    The teacher was extremely helpful and ensured we all created a nice piece to fire.
  • Sip & Spin Pottery Workshop

    Amazing class! The most friendly and encouraging teacher! Also it would be nice if they could send finished project via mail...
  • Sip & Spin Pottery Workshop

    Corey at last Friday’s Sip and Spin was awesome. 10/10 will be back.
  • Sip & Spin Pottery Workshop

    This my my first ceramic making experience and I had a great time! Corey, our instructor was easy to understand and extremely helpful. I would definitely recommend!!
  • Sip & Spin Pottery Workshop

    My sister and I went to this class and it was perfect! We have both have never taken a pottery class so started off a little overwhelmed but the instructor was a great help. I made 3 pieces in 2 hrs and decided to keep 2 of them. My sister made 2 pieces and kept 1. The instructors are really helpful in getting you set up but also good about making sure you try on your own as well. I can’t wait to pick up my glazed piece in 3 weeks! They pick the same off white speckle glaze for everyone’s piece. It’s a pretty neutral so I didn’t mind but keep in mind that you don’t actually paint the piece after you are done. This is only the pottery piece.
  • Sip & Spin Pottery Workshop

    Instructor was awesome, personable and patient! It was a lot harder than I thought it would be so it was great to have someone willing to step in and show us the ropes!
  • Sip & Spin Pottery Workshop

    Instructor Corey was amazing!
  • Sip & Spin Pottery Workshop

    Overall the process of working with the wheel was fun. However, we were made to clean up afterwards despite paying for the class. We were not offered and there were no clean rags/towels available to wipe ourselves off from the splatter of cleaning.
  • Sip & Spin Pottery Workshop

    Really great instructor and I liked the fact we were able to make multiple pieces.
  • Sip & Spin Pottery Workshop

    Had a wonderful time. The vibe and the people made the experience fun and mellow. I learned a lot and it was great to do/try multiple times on each clay ball. Time will go by fast so I would suggest to take the weekly course if you really love it. You will definitely get dirty but I think it's worth it.
  • Sip & Spin Pottery Workshop

    We loved it! Switched classes to a smaller group and it was a perfect size with a very helpful and experienced instructor. We will definitely come back for another class!!
  • Sip & Spin Pottery Workshop

    Had a wonderfully polite and helpful instructor. Made the entire experience fun and easy going! Will definitely be back
  • Sip & Spin Pottery Workshop

    Very nice
  • Sip & Spin Pottery Workshop

    I really enjoyed the process
  • Sip & Spin Pottery Workshop

    Class was fun and the instructor Mike was very nice and made a point to go around and everyone
  • Sip & Spin Pottery Workshop

    Would have liked a little bit more instruction at the top of the class but we were seemingly the only newbies to pottery.
  • Sip & Spin Pottery Workshop

    The class was very engaging and as a first time ceramic maker, I've learned some fundamental skills and I really enjoyed the process.

Question from Nicole O.
Is this class a BYOB?
Answer from Brenda L. CourseHorse Staff
Hi Nicole! Yes, this is a BYOB class. Some students make mimosas in the weekend morning workshops, so feel free but no pressure to bring anything to drink if you don't want to. But currently, we don't have upcoming dates but can save the class to your wishlist so you're automatically notified via e-mail the next time we add dates. Hope this helps!

Question from Anonymous
What is the difference between this workshop and the Wheel Throwing Pottery (Weekend) as it seems this workshop has weekend availability also? weekend availability also?
Answer from Jenn C. CourseHorse Staff
Hi! Both classes are exactly the same except for the fact that Sip and Spin is a BYOB class while the one-day workshops are taking place in the morning and we figure it is a little early to start drinking! :)
