Wheel Throwing Courses
Image and work by Anna Letson
Discover the fundamentals and beyond in our wheel throwing courses, offered at beginner, intermediate, and open levels. Students learn essential techniques such as wedging, centering, pulling, and trimming to create functional forms such as cylinders, cups, and bowls, along with instruction in glazing suited to each stage of skill development.
Our beginner courses offer step-by-step instruction that breaks down each technique in a clear and approachable way, building a strong foundation for those new to the wheel. Intermediate courses help students refine their centering and pulling skills, deepen their technical understanding, and expand their creative range. Open-level courses bring students of varying experience together in a shared studio setting, where each person works at their own pace with guidance suited to their individual goals.
Across all levels, sessions include instructor demonstrations, guided practice, and individualized feedback, helping students gain confidence and fluency on the wheel over time.
