Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this pottery wheel class:

Learn how to throw clay on the potter's wheel in this NYC workshop.

In this pottery class, you will be shown the basics via a short demonstration of how to make a cup or bowl shape on the pottery wheel. Then, you'll be guided along as you try it yourself. You'll be able to try and try again until you get a piece that you love. The last fifteen minutes of class is dedicated to clean up. This class includes one fired piece per person to be picked up in one week.

Whether you're looking for date night ideas, team building activities, or just something fun to try this weekend, this pottery wheel class is a great option. Come sink your hands into some clay and make a piece of glazed pottery that you'll be sure to treasure!

Knowledge required

  • None, totally beginner-friendly.

What you'll get

  • Materials to work with, plus one fired piece that will be glazed for you.

What to bring

  • Wear clothes you don't mind getting messy and tie your hair back. We suggest trimming your nails before the session and removing jewelry from your hands and wrists.

Suitable for

  • This class is great for individuals and couples as well as for a team building activity, birthday or bachelorette party.
  • This would also be a unique gift for her, gift for mom, anniversary gift or birthday gift.


Is my Piece ready for Pick up?

Because Pottery NYC works with several third party companies we do not send out pick up reminders. It is the responsibility of the student to set a reminder that their work will be ready for pick up one week after the date of their class. The works are kept for a 14-day grace period for pick up. Works "expire" three weeks after the meeting date of your class.

Refund Policy

No refunds, but can reschedule if student notifies us more than 24 hours before class.

In any event where a customer wants to cancel their enrollment and is eligible for a full refund, a 5% processing fee will be deducted from the refund amount.

    The professor explains super well how to work with the clay, then you try on your own. You are allowed to try a couple of times and then keep the one that you like the most. It was my sister birthday, but you can do it for fun or for a date.

    Had a great time at this class. Have been wanting to try pottery on the wheel for a while now and I’m glad they offer a one time course where you can come home with an item you made. The teacher was great, helpful and explained everything really well!
