Come join me for a unique experience to share with friends, young or older, family, or colleagues! At The Pottery Garden, the pottery classes are exclusively booked for you and your small group – no open sign-ups, no crowds, just a personal, hands-on experience tailored to your interests and pace. With room for 2-3 students per class, each session is relaxed and interactive, allowing everyone plenty of time to observe, learn, get hands-on at the pottery wheel and create your own pots!
What to Expect: A Three-Session Pottery Journey
Our private classes are designed to give you the full experience of creating your own pottery, from start to finish. Each class series includes three sessions, covering every part of the process: throwing, trimming, and glazing.
Session 1: Throwing – Bringing Your Ideas to Life
The first session is a deep dive into throwing on the wheel. Lasting about 4-5 hours, it provides ample time for you and your friends to create multiple pieces. I’ll guide you through the basics of forming clay into the shapes you envision, and we’ll work at a relaxed pace to make sure everyone feels comfortable with the process. Don’t worry if you’re new – the small class size ensures plenty of individual guidance!
Session 2: Trimming – Refining Your Pieces
The second session focuses on trimming and refining the pieces you made in the first class. If your schedule is tight, you may choose to skip this step, and I’m happy to handle the trimming of your pieces for you. Either way, this session is all about perfecting your pieces and adding those final touches that make them truly yours.
Session 3: Glazing – Adding Color and Style
In the final session, we’ll glaze your creations. You’ll get to choose from a variety of glazes to add color and texture, making each piece unique to you. I’ll guide you through glazing techniques to ensure your pieces come out just as you imagined. After firing, your pottery will be ready to pick up and take home – functional, beautiful, and crafted with your own hands!
