What should a beginner take first — a workshop or a term class?
If you've never touched clay, the 1-Day Wheel Throwing class is the best first step: one session, all materials included, and you make real pieces. If you already know you love it, a 10-week term class builds skills week over week.
What do beginners make in their first term?
First-term students typically finish mugs, bowls, and small plates — functional pieces you can actually use, glazed food-safe and fired in the studio's kiln.
Do I need to buy any equipment?
No wheels, tools, or kiln access needed — the studio provides everything. Term students buy a bag of clay at registration; one-day classes include materials in the price.
