Can I try wheel throwing once before signing up for a term?

Is wheel throwing suitable for kids?

How long until I can throw a decent bowl?
Most students centre clay and pull simple cylinders within their first two or three sessions, and finish recognizable bowls and mugs by the end of a 10-week term.
