Master the wheel at your pace with private 1:1 tutoring—available in-person or online. Whether you’re just starting or want to improve more advanced throwing techniques, personalized lessons focus on your goals: whether you’re making your first bowl or perfecting your moon jars.

Hands-on demonstrations, real-time feedback, plans tailored to your needs, and troubleshooting specific challenges accelerate progress and build confidence. Online sessions use live video to observe your work, guide adjustments, and suggest exercises; in-person lessons give direct tactile guidance and demos.

    The wheel is arranged for use in a standing position at the ideal height for people 5’4”-5’9”. Those with heights outside of that range will likely have difficulty using this wheel in the standing position. Please let me know before scheduling your session so the wheel can be adjusted to a sitting position before your session.

    Online sessions and sessions in other locations may accommodate more students. Please contact me to discuss.
