A Playful Process: is a hands-on 3-day workshop that will focus on creating a variety of mug forms with personality. Using wheel throwing techniques to create expressive forms through proportions and scale.
We will be using the mug form to learn the basics of these throwing techniques, allowing for practice and multiple iterations within the class time and then scaling up the techniques for medium sized vessels.

Who is the intensive for?
*Intermediate, Adult Student - for the purposes of this course an intermediate student would be considered someone who is able to comfortably throw & trim on the wheel independently. Students will need to know how to center for throwing and trimming.

Get grounded in the basics of wheel-thrown pottery in this 1-week accelerated program.

Each week builds your skills step-by-step as you explore the full process of creating pottery on the wheel. You’ll start with wedging, centering, and throwing simple cylinders, then move on to trimming techniques and creating clean, flat bottoms. From there, you’ll learn to shape outward into bowls and mugs, add foot rings and handles, and finally glaze your finished pieces.

You’ll come away with a solid foundation in wheel throwing — and a small collection of handmade ceramics to show for it.

Fun, hands-on, and beginner-friendly. No experience needed!
