4-Week Wheel Throwing Pottery Class (Chicago) — Mondays

Looking for more than a one-off class?

This 4-week series is your chance to slow down, get your hands messy, and learn to throw with intention. 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 ramen bowl, or just getting more confident on the wheel, each session is paced to support your pottery journey.

Each week builds on the last: from two sessions throwing on the wheel, to trimming, to glazing. You’ll leave with pottery that feels like you — meaningful, one-of-a-kind, and full of memory.

If you can’t make your monthly series, it’s okay to find someone to take your place for the entire series. We aren’t able to find a replacement for you or fill individual missed classes. Thank you for understanding and for supporting a small studio — policies like this allow me to keep classes intimate, consistent, and accessible.
