Curious about pottery but not quite ready to commit to a longer course? MUD: Wheel Basics is the perfect place to begin.
Designed for beginners, this 4-week pottery wheel course introduces the fundamental skills of wheel throwing in a relaxed, supportive studio environment. You'll learn how to wedge clay, centre on the wheel, open, pull walls, trim, and glaze your work, creating your first functional pottery pieces along the way.
Each class is guided step-by-step, making it approachable for complete beginners, while those with a little experience can use the time to strengthen technique, build confidence, and improve consistency.
Your course includes:
Four weekly 3-hour classes (12 hours of instruction)
Use of studio clay, all studio tools and equipment
All bisque and glaze firings
A selection of studio glazes
Additional clay available for purchase if needed
By the end of the course, most students will take home 3–6 finished pieces, depending on pace and practice.
