6-Week Wheel Throwing Pottery Class (Chicago) — Wednesdays

Looking for more than a one-off class?

A 6-week series to give you more time at the wheel. With only two wheels in the studio, classes stay small and personal, giving you plenty of one-on-one guidance while learning alongside another maker. Whether your goal is a set of matching mugs, a handmade bowl, or just getting more confident on the wheel, each session is paced to support your pottery journey. We'll curate to your goal and skill-level.

Each week builds on the last: three sessions throwing on the wheel, two sessions to trim your work, and the final session for glazing. You’ll leave with pottery that feels like you — meaningful, one-of-a-kind, and full of memory.
