Start your creative journey with our wheel throwing for beginners

For ages 12 and up

(Students ages 12-16 must attend with an adult who is also registered.)

This two-hour wheel throwing pottery session gives you the perfect chance to dive into hand-made ceramics, whether you’re a total beginner or someone who’s played with clay before. You’ll get hands-on from the start as our instructors walk you through the basics of centering, shaping, and forming clay on the wheel. Bowls, cups, vases – whatever you’re inspired to create, we help you build confidence with every spin. The workshop is relaxed, supportive, and welcoming to all skill levels.

By the end of our wheel throwing workshop in Waco, you’ll pick your favorite two pieces for us to finish. We take care of the trimming, glazing, and firing so your work comes out beautifully. Your finished pieces are typically ready for pickup in about 3-4 weeks.

How to receive your finished pottery

We'll let you know as soon as your pottery is ready. Please plan to pick up your items within 30 days, so they stay safe in our studio. If you're traveling or can't make it back in person, we're happy to ship your pottery to you for an additional fee. If your pottery has not been picked up by 90 days after the class, we will dispose of it.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What should I bring to a wheel throwing workshop?

    You don’t need to bring anything except yourself. We provide all the tools, clay, towels, and materials you’ll need for your wheel throwing class in Waco. Comfortable clothes you don’t mind getting a little clay on are recommended, and tying back long hair can help keep it out of the way. Most people also like to remove jewelry or watches before they begin working on the wheel.

  • How messy is a wheel throwing class and will I get clay on my clothes?

    Wheel throwing can be a little messy and you should expect to get some clay on your clothes and hands. The clay rinses off easily with water, which makes cleanup simple. Aprons are usually available, but wearing something casual is the best choice. Clay splashes are part of the fun and most students end up enjoying the hands-on nature of the experience.

  • Is the wheel throwing workshop accessible for people with limited mobility?

    Our wheel throwing workshop in Waco is accessible for many people with limited mobility, but it depends on individual needs. Our instructors are happy to adapt techniques or offer additional support to make the experience comfortable. If you have specific accessibility questions, we encourage you to contact us so we can prepare the space accordingly. We want every student to feel welcome and included during their time in the studio.

  • Do I need to arrive early for the wheel throwing workshop?
