Learn wheel throwing at our Boulder pottery studio. Center clay, pull walls, and shape beautiful pottery on the wheel.
Wheel throwing is the art of shaping clay on a spinning pottery wheel. It's one of the most popular and rewarding ways to make pottery. At Boulder Pottery Studio, our wheel throwing classes teach you everything from centering clay to pulling cylinders, throwing bowls, mugs, plates, and vases.
Wheel throwing requires patience, practice, and a willingness to let your hands learn. The feeling of clay rising between your fingers as you center and pull is unlike anything else. Our experienced instructors guide you through each step, from wedging your clay to trimming the foot of your finished piece.
Whether you're a complete beginner who has never touched a pottery wheel or an experienced thrower looking for studio time, Boulder Pottery Studio has the equipment, instruction, and community you need.
At Boulder Pottery Studio, we will teach wheel throwing as part of our pottery curriculum. Whether you're exploring this technique for the first time or deepening an existing practice, our instructors will guide you through the fundamentals and help you develop your skills.
All materials will be included in our class fees: clay, glazes, kiln firing, and tools. Our studio is planned around both gas and electric kilns, so you can choose the firing that suits the work.
