Discover the joy of working with clay in the Intro to Pottery Wheel Throwing Class in San Francisco, California. This two-hour beginner-friendly experience gift teaches you the basics of wheel throwing while you create up to three unique ceramic pieces, which will be trimmed, glazed, and fired!
Guided by an experienced potter, you’ll learn the fundamentals of wheel throwing, from centering and shaping clay to forming your own functional or decorative pieces. No prior experience is required, and all tools, clay, and instruction are provided, so you can focus on the fun of creating.
During the class, you’ll work with up to three pounds of clay and craft as many as three unique pieces to keep. Once the session ends, your work will be trimmed, fired, and glazed by the studio staff, ready for you to pick up in 4–6 weeks. Disposable aprons are available for single-day students, and everything is set up to make the process as relaxed and enjoyable as possible. It’s a hands-on, rewarding way to explore pottery in the heart of San Francisco—and walk away with handmade pieces you can truly call your own.
