Private Wheel Throwing - Pottery Wheel Experience

PRIVATE WHEEL THROWING — Pottery Wheel Experience (2 People Max)

A hands-on pottery wheel experience designed for a more focused, personal session.

This private wheel throwing class is limited to two people, giving you the time and space to learn the basics of working on the wheel with guided support throughout.

You’ll be introduced to core techniques like centring, shaping and forming clay, while creating your own pieces in a relaxed and supportive environment.

Held at our Abbotsford Convent studio, this session is beginner friendly and ideal for those wanting to try the pottery wheel for the first time.
