Private Wheel Lessons

from $100.00

Perfect for anyone who prefers individual instruction! These one-on-one sessions are great for beginners or those with minimal experience that want to take the next step.

Note: To complete the full cycle of throwing pots on the wheel, plan for at least 3 separate private lessons to include:

  1. Throwing your “rough draft” pots on the wheel. This lesson includes learning how to center, open, and pull up your pot. You can stop here if the experience with wet clay is all you want to try, or just to see if it’s for you. If that’s the case, your instructor will trim up your pots (up to 2/person) for you and you can select a glaze that they will apply for you prior to firing. Your pots will be ready within 3-4 weeks after firing.

  2. The second step in pottery is trimming. This session requires that your pot is leather hard (dry enough to handle), and is best to schedule between 24 hours-to- 2 weeks of your first session. If you want to stop here, you can choose a glaze and your instructor will glaze up to 2 pots for you. Your pots will be ready within 3-4 weeks after firing.

  3. The final step of pottery is glazing. This can happen before or after you bisque fire your pot, depending on the finish you want. We have lots of glazes to choose from. Glazing is different from “painting” and involves learning how to effectively apply glaze and layer for different effects. It is easily a full single private lesson and super important to learn if you’re considering pottery as a continuous hobby.

    Students who complete all 3 private lessons have successfully completed a full intro to pottery and will be able to navigate the studio’s wheel area and glazing shelves on their own if they want to continue practicing pottery with a punch card. Punch cards are $120/10 hours of studio time.

No additional glazing or kiln fees. Glazes and firing are always included in our classes and private lessons.

Reservation times vary depending on instructor availability. Please list the time you prefer on the form and we’ll follow up to either confirm or suggest alternate available times.

Single person session: $100

2 to 6 person group lesson, $85/person
