Ever wanted to try the pottery wheel?
Our Try the Wheel experience is a hands-on introduction to wheel throwing, designed for beginners looking to slow down, get creative and make something from scratch.
Working with clay on the wheel is equal parts challenging, rewarding and surprisingly therapeutic. It encourages focus, patience and play, offering a chance to step away from screens and spend a few hours making with your hands.
Sessions are intentionally limited to just one or two people, allowing plenty of individual guidance, hands-on support and time on the wheel.
Held at our Abbotsford Convent studio, this beginner-friendly experience is perfect for individuals, friends, couples or a parent and child looking to try something new together.

Guided by our experienced ceramic artists, you’ll learn:
  • How to centre clay on the pottery wheel
  • The foundations of wheel throwing
  • How to shape a simple cup, bowl or small vessel
