Wheel & Clay Kids Studio

This hands-on pottery class introduces kids to the magic of working with clay through both pottery wheel throwing and hand-building. Students will have the opportunity to try the wheel with instructor guidance and, if they prefer or find the wheel challenging, transition seamlessly into hand-building projects such as small cups, bowls, or sculptural creations.

This class is designed to be fun, exploratory, and pressure-free—perfect for curious kids who want to experience the pottery wheel while still ensuring a positive and creative outcome for every student.

No experience is necessary — we’ll guide them through every step.

What You’ll Make
• 1–2 clay pieces depending on pace, project choice, and ability
• Wheel-thrown and/or hand-built creations

What To Expect
• Demonstration of basic pottery wheel techniques
• Each student will have access to their own pottery wheel with hands-on instructor support
• Hand-building option available throughout class
• Emphasis on creativity, exploration, and enjoying the process
• Supportive guidance to ensure a successful project

Pottery wheel throwing requires coordination and practice, and each child’s experience will be unique. While every student will have the opportunity to try the wheel, wheel-thrown results cannot be guaranteed. All students will be guided toward a successful finished piece.

Students will return in approximately 2 weeks to glaze their pieces. Finished pieces will be ready for pickup about 1 week after glazing.

Supplies Provided
• Clay
• Pottery wheel use
• Hand-building tools
• Kiln bisque firing
• Glazes (during glazing session)
