Pottery Classes
Single Drop-In
A one-time throwing class. Practice centering clay on the potter’s wheel, creating a simple form (a bowl, cup, planter, etc.). You can expect to make 1-2 pieces for pickup in 4-6 weeks.
Class Bundles
Design a class bundle: multiple throwing classes and trimming classes to explore stages of the pottery process and build your skills. 2, 4 or 6-Class Bundles are popular. Classes need to occur within 1-8 days.
Claydates
Reserve the studio for a private throwing session for you and your guest(s) (seats up to 5). Popular for dates, family outings, besties, intimate birthday gifts or anniversaries!
All About Bundles:
Throwing vs. Trimming
What’s the difference, and do you need to take both?
1.Throwing
Make something on the wheel! Work with wet clay on the wheel, spinning it and pressing it with your hands until it is firmly in the center of the wheel. Once the clay is centered, you learn various techniques to create a form. Bowls, cups, and saucers are popular. It is squishy and messy and chaotic and fun!
2.Trimming
An optional follow-up to throwing: carve your work on the wheel after it has dried to a “leather hard,” state - the consistency of chocolate. We flip the piece upside down, secure it to the wheel and carve it with a metal loop tool, refining the overall shape and creating a “foot.”
Workshops & Parties
Workshops
Waveform offers customizable team-building workshops on the wheel (seats 6) or featuring hand-building techniques (seats 11). Bring a tactile experience to your team and get grounded: reach out to the studio for rates and schedule some clay time for your team.
Parties
Book the studio for a customized birthday party, anniversary, milestone, family outing or simply to enjoy doing something fun and new with your favorite people! Parties are 2.5 hours and seat 6 for throwing on the wheel. Reach out to the studio and we’ll get you on the calendar!
