Beginner Experimental | One three hour session
Try the wheel in one day.
Your clay is prepared before the workshop, so you can focus on learning the wheel and throwing. Select one piece for our team to trim, glaze and fire afterward.
From clay to wheel thrown form.
Participants throw during the workshop. NewMakeIt completes the trimming, glazing and firing afterward.
Start with prepared clay
Get comfortable with the material, learn basic studio safety and prepare to work at the wheel.
Centre and throw
Learn to centre clay, open the form and pull the walls to create a simple wheel thrown piece.
Select one piece
Choose one of your thrown pieces for our team to finish after the workshop.
We finish it for you
NewMakeIt trims and glazes the selected piece in a clear or white finish, then fires it for pickup.
