Learn Wheel Throwing at Kingston Clay Studio
Kingston Clay Studio was founded by Will McCanless, a second-generation potter carrying on the Seagrove, North Carolina pottery tradition, with over 40 years behind the wheel. Will’s work has been recognised with the title of North Carolina’s Pottery Laureate and featured in a PBS documentary, but what matters most day to day is this: every instructor at Kingston Clay Studio is personally trained by Will, so whether you’re learning directly from him or from one of our instructors, you’re learning the same techniques, standards, and approach built over four decades of hands-on craft.
That’s the difference at Kingston Clay Studio. This isn’t a workshop assembled from a script. It’s a genuine pottery education, passed down and taught with care by people who know the craft inside and out with decades of professional ceramic experience.
In our small-group wheel throwing workshop, you’ll get hands-on, personalised guidance as you learn to centre clay, master essential throwing techniques, shape a functional vessel, and refine your piece to a professional finish. Whether you’ve never touched clay or you’re looking to build real skill, you’ll be learning an approach shaped by decades of genuine expertise.
Perfect for date nights, birthdays, team building, a solo creative reset, or an outing with friends and family. Kingston Clay Studio is proudly NDIS friendly, so everyone is welcome to join in.
Your finished piece will be fired and glazed and ready approximately four to eight weeks after your workshop. Want to make more than one? Additional pieces can be fired for just ten dollars each.
Ready to go further? Kingston Clay Studio offers a full path to grow your skills beyond a single workshop, including 4 and 8 week term classes in both wheel throwing and hand building, private lessons for one-on-one instruction, and studio access programs for those who want to come in and create on their own. Ask us which option fits where you’re at.
Spaces are limited to keep the experience personal. Book your spot today.

Recent reviews of Unwind with Clay Taster Class

  • 5/5 from Tekiasha Hart, attended Aug 2026: This was honestly one of the best pottery classes I have had!! Our teacher was incredible, he was very patient, and so helpful. He instructions were simple but very understanding and taught the art of pottery making. He helped through the class and make the pottery process easier, especially as beginner group! Would definitely recommend to anyone!
  • 5/5 from Brenzac Savusa, attended Jul 2026: Will was sooooo accommodating! I took a group of 13, and he was incredibly helpful from start to finish. Even with my last-minute request to add a few more people, he happily accommodated us. The lesson was engaging, enjoyable, and such a great experience for everyone. I highly recommend booking!
  • 5/5 from Jackie Hoggart, attended Jul 2026: Great class, learnt so much from Will. Would recommend. I will be back!
  • 5/5 from Vani Mantha, attended Jun 2026: Will was honestly the best teacher! As first timers, he was so patient, gentle and calm - he had the same ‘zen’ vibes that Bob Ross possessed. We were lucky to be the only two during the class and he gave us our full attention. I’m so intrigued by the art of pottery making/wheel throwing and will definitely be back. The prices are also very competitive and given the style of the workshop, Will’s passion and patience, this is the one I would pick again and again over other schools.
  • 5/5 from Amanpreet Kaur, attended Jun 2026: Will was lovely, and the class itself was very enjoyable and easy to follow. We felt like time flew by and we had lots of fun. Would definitely recommend it.
