Go from raw clay to glazed, finished work in four weeks. This intensive covers every stage of the pottery process in a logical so that by the end, you understand not just how to throw, but how to think like a potter. Each week builds on the last, and you'll leave with a set of finished pieces and a skill set you can keep developing.

What You'll Learn

Week one: You'll learn to wedge your clay properly to remove air bubbles, center on the wheel with control, and throw your first cylinders. This week you'll create tumbler cups

Week two: You'll focus on bowls. You'll learn to open the form shape a curved wall, and develop a feel for how clay moves differently in bowl versus cylinder forms.

Week three:  Learn all about trimming. You'll return to your dried pieces and learn to flip, secure, and trim them on the wheel, refining the foot, thinning the walls, and giving each piece a finished, intentional base.

Week four:  Glazing. You'll learn how glazes work and how to apply color and finish to your pieces. We'll cover layering, design decisions, and how to think about the relationship between form and surface.

What's Included

All clay, tools, glazes, and firings are included. You'll receive guidance at every stage and leave with a collection of finished, glazed pieces from across all four sessions. Once your work has completed its final firing, you'll be notified when it's ready for pickup, or you can arrange shipping during the final class.

Who This Is For

This intensive is for anyone who wants a real, structured introduction to pottery rather than a one-time sampler. No experience is required. Perfect if you want to walk away with both finished work and a foundation you can actually build on.

What to Wear

Wear clothing and shoes you're comfortable getting clay and water on. Aprons are provided, but clay has a way of finding everything anyway.
