Wheel introduction
Centering, opening, and pulling walls with guided demonstrations and shared troubleshooting. Emphasis on posture, breath, and reclaiming wobbly cylinders without frustration.
Classes
Formats for learning together
Wheel, hand-building, and glaze each move at their own pace. These overviews explain what a session might emphasize — contact us when you want to continue the conversation.
Three ways we structure time
Hand-building
Pinch, coil, and slab work for cups, planters, and sculptural forms. Texture tools, ribs, and sponges — building confidence before speed.
Glaze & surface
Test tiles, dipping, brushing, and wax resist. Conversation about how glaze moves on vertical surfaces and where to expect variation after firing.
Wheel practice
“Slow hands find the center faster than rushed ones.”
Class copy stays practical: what to wear, how to handle leather-hard pieces, and why we photograph work before glaze day. No promises about what you will take home after a first visit.
