At the wheel

Learn to throw pottery.

I signed up for a few pottery classes on my mom's suggestion and never stopped. I teach beginner and intermediate classes now to hand that same thing to somebody else.

I enjoy introducing people to the wheel and clay, and I love seeing people's reactions to their own handmade pottery.

How it works

Three steps, and one of them is waiting.

You sit down at the wheel

No experience assumed and nothing to bring. I start everyone the same way I started — centering a lump of clay, badly, until it goes right.

You throw something real

Beginner classes work toward a piece you take home. Intermediate classes push into form, trimming, and handles.

I fire and glaze it

Pottery cannot be rushed. Your piece is dried, bisque fired, glazed, and fired again before it comes back to you.
