A One-Time Wheel-Throwing Experience

Gather & Throw is a fun, hands-on introduction to throwing on the pottery wheel. This two-hour class is ideal for a creative night out, a date, or a chance to try something new on your own. It’s also a great peek into what our multi-week classes are like — without the longer commitment.

An experienced instructor will guide you through the basics of working on the wheel, helping you get a feel for the clay and the process in a relaxed, supportive environment. No prior experience is needed, and the focus is on exploration, play, and learning something new.

Each participant may keep one piece, which will be trimmed, glazed, and fired by our studio team after class. Finished work will be ready for pickup within approximately three weeks, and you’ll receive an email notification when it’s ready. If you make more than one piece you’d like to keep, additional pieces may be fired for $15 each. Due to limited storage, pieces not picked up within two months will be discarded.

Open to ages 15 and up.
