Wheel throwing is a technique of shaping ceramics using a potter's wheel.
At the end of this class you'll learn the basic fundamentals of wheel throwing:
- How to prepare your clay and your body position
- How to center, open and pull a wall and make a vessel, these are the most important fundamentals of using a wheel before you make other objects.
Using a wheel is challenging at first but it is also very fulfilling. That's why for this class, we focus on building your foundations before moving on to more complicated works.
We recommend this class if:
- 1. You're a beginner who may not have a prior experience with the potter's wheel before but want to try if this is something you'd like to pursue.
- 2. Someone who may have had experience with the wheel but have not been successful with the fundamentals which results in unsuccessful work.

FAQ:
Are there fixed schedules? Or can I book another date?
If you have a specific date in mind (like your anniversary), please let us know. We open slots every week but we'll try our best to accommodate your preferred date.
Can we bring our final outcomes home?
We will need to fire your pieces first before you are able to use them, the firing process will involve multiple stages like drying, and firing it twice which can take around 6-8 weeks. We will inform you when your works are ready for pick up.
Clay is unlimited during this session. So don't worry if you make a mistake, we can always provide more clay. At the end of the session, you are to pick 3 pieces you'd like us to fire for you and take home.
Can I bring food or drinks?
Yes you can bring food or drinks. You can even order from the dozens of restaurants around the Cubao Expo compound and it will be delivered to you during your pottery session. Please give us a heads up so the teacher is informed :)
