About the event

This is a short, beginner-friendly pottery wheel session designed for kids and parents to experience clay together. The session begins with a simple introduction where the instructor explains how the pottery wheel works and demonstrates the basics.
Kids get to sit at the wheel, touch the clay, and try shaping it with guidance. It’s a playful, hands-on experience where getting messy is part of the fun. The instructor is present throughout to assist and guide.

What You’ll do

During the session, you’ll try making simple forms on the pottery wheel. The focus is on exploring the material, enjoying the process, and creating something with your own hands. Each attempt may turn out differently — that’s completely okay. The idea is to experience, not perfect.

Taking Your Piece Home

  • This session is focused on experience rather than finished pieces.
  • Firing and glazing are not included.
