Try It! Wheel Class
Ever watched someone throw pottery on the wheel and thought, I could totally do that? Come find out.
Try It Wheel is our 90-minute, one-time pottery wheel experience
designed for complete beginners, curious creatives, and anyone who wants to get their hands dirty without committing to a multi-week class.
We'll walk you through the basics step-by-step, from centering your clay to pulling up the walls of your very first pot.
You'll get three 1.25 lb balls of clay — three chances to make something you're proud of (or at least something that mostly resembles a vessel).
Your $52 experience includes:
• 90 minutes of guided, semi-private wheel instruction
• Three rounds of clay to work with
• Use of our studio tools and equipment
• One finished piece, if you make a keeper
• Bisque firing of your piece
• A return visit to the studio to paint your pottery
• Glazing and a final glaze firing
Yep — you make it, we fire it, you come back and paint it, and then we fire it again. You leave the whole experience with a finished piece of pottery that you made with your own two hands.
A few things to know before you throw:
It's messy. Wear clothes and shoes that can handle some clay. We'll use community tools during class.
Pottery is an adventure, not a guarantee. If this is your first time at the wheel, you may not end up with a finished piece — and that's okay. The point is to learn, play, laugh at your wonky pots, and try something completely different.
Wet clay also moves at pottery speed. Your piece needs time to dry completely before its first firing, so please allow up to 28 days before it's ready for you to return and paint.
And occasionally, the kiln gods demand a sacrifice. Pieces can crack, flop or have other unexpected adventures during drying and firing. If yours doesn't survive the journey, we'll have a small consolation prize waiting for you.
Classes are held at our Noblesville studio at 60 N. 9th Street.
Tickets are non-refundable and non-transferable.
Come get your hands dirty. You might be better at this than you think.
