Group pottery classes
Group pottery classes consist of four (3) hour long classes. The maximum number of students is six, allowing for a substantial amount of one on one time. Beginners will grasp the basics and challenge themselves with a variety of techniques. More advanced students will have the opportunity to find their unique style while reinforcing and perfecting the basic techniques. Below is a glimpse of what may be covered in each class:
- 1: The basics of forming the clay and throwing cups
- 2: Throwing bowls
- 3: Trimming bowls and cups
- 4: The art of glazing

This is a great way to get one on one time without paying private lesson costs. What a deal!

Private pottery classes
Typically, private pottery classes are one hour long and are available for up to two people per lesson. For those new to the wheel, I recommend scheduling two lessons.* A private pottery wheel lesson, then a follow-up glaze lesson. The new pottery wheel initiate will learn how to make a cup form and a bowl form in about an hour. As part of this experience, the instructor will dry, trim, sign your names and bisque fire your pieces. You will have the option to purchase another private lesson to add color to your hand made pottery. This additional private one hour class will allow you to select from over 20 glazes and learn how to make your pieces food, dishwasher and microwave safe.
At GPP, we will meet you at your level. Beginners will find their lessons geared towards learning the basics of the pottery wheel and how to throw bowls and small vases. More advanced students will have the opportunity to challenge themselves to pursue pieces of interest with the help of my guidance.
Per person: $70/hour
*Please allow a minimum of three weeks between private pottery wheel lessons and the follow up glaze lessons.
