private Ceramic Lessons

We offer one-on-one wheel throwing and handbuilding lessons tailored to your experience level and goals. Whether you're trying clay for the first time, refining specific techniques, or looking for guidance on a personal project, we'll shape the session around what you'd like to learn.

All lessons include clay, tools, and instruction. Sessions can be structured in one of the following ways:

Beginners: Learn the fundamentals of wheel throwing or handbuilding, including essential techniques and concepts, tools, and clay knowledge, in a supportive introduction to ceramics.

Skill Building: Focus on developing specific techniques (e.g. throwing larger forms, making lidded vessels, exploring more advanced handbuilding projects, etc.)

Project-Based: Have a particular piece in mind? Bring sketches, reference photos, or an idea, and we'll guide you through creating it.

Finishing Your Work

Wheel Throwing: After your first session, we can trim your piece for you, or you can return for a second lesson to learn the trimming process (same hourly rate). If you're already comfortable trimming, you're also welcome to finish your work during Open Studio.

Glazing: We'll glaze your finished piece in the color of your choice, or you can return during Open Studio for an overview of the process and to glaze your piece yourself.
