Class Description

Description

If you're curious about pottery making and want a crash course on the basics, give this NYC class a go! It's a chance for complete beginners to try their hand at wheel throwing. No experience is necessary.

In this pottery class, you will be shown the basics via a short demonstration of how to make a cup or bowl shape on the pottery wheel. Then, you'll be guided along as you try it yourself. You'll be able to try and try again until you get a piece that you love. The last fifteen minutes of class is dedicated to clean up. This class includes one fired piece per person to be picked up in one week.

Whether you're looking for date night ideas, team building activities, or just something fun to try this weekend, this pottery wheel class is a great option. Come sink your hands into some clay and make a piece of glazed pottery that you'll be sure to treasure!

Knowledge required:

  • None, totally beginner-friendly.

What you'll get:

  • Materials to work with, plus one fired piece that will be glazed for you.

What to bring:

  • Wear clothes you don't mind getting messy and tie your hair back. We suggest trimming your nails before the session and removing jewelry from your hands and wrists.

Is my Piece ready for Pick up?

Because Pottery NYC works with several third party companies we do not send out pick up reminders. It is the responsibility of the student to set a reminder that their work will be ready for pick up one week after the date of their class. The works are kept for a 14-day grace period for pick up. Works "expire" three weeks after the meeting date of your class.

Refund Policy

No refunds, but can reschedule if student notifies us more than 24 hours before class.

In any event where a customer is eligible for a full refund, a 5% processing fee will be deducted from the refund amount.

    I had so much fun in this class! It’s definitely trial and error to get a feel for it but I found it really enjoyable and satisfying. The instructor was very nice and have very clear directions. I’m looking forward to seeing my pieces fully glazed next week.
  • Pottery Wheel Basics

    This was my first time doing wheel throwing. I attended with a small group for a birthday party. It was fun and hands-on and felt like a proper art course, not just a gimmick. However, I found it difficult to execute the techniques that the instructor showed, and I would have done better if the instructor had a few extra minutes to work directly with me or to do the demos more up close.

    Booked pottery class for 4 on a Sunday for me and my sisters, no one was at the studio and it was fully closed. I tried to reach out to the studio with no answer, also reached out to coursehorse for a refund with no answer. $350 down the drain.
