wheel throwing classes and tutoring

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.

Ideal for hobbyists, emerging makers, or those preparing a body of work for sale or exhibition. Sessions scheduled to fit your life and paced to match your learning rhythm.
