As hard as it may be to imagine, the pottery wheel is an ancient artifact. This groundbreaking development in the world of ceramic arts may have been invented in Mesopotamia as early as 3,500 BCE. Sure, these early pottery throwing devices were more akin to turning tables for easier coiling pottery, but they changed the game either way. Today, wheel throwing is one of the main techniques taught in pottery classes. Using a wheel is essential for creating vases, mugs, bowls, plates and other beautiful handmade clay artworks.

Wheel throwing is great for your wellbeing
You would be surprised at how wonderful you’ll feel after even your first pottery session. There’s something so magical about leaving the world at the door, sitting down behind your pottery wheel, and getting to work transforming a chunk of clay into something functional and beautiful. Maybe it’s the fact that you can’t check your phone. Maybe it brings you back to those childhood memories of playing in the mud. Maybe it’s just relaxing and fun for reasons we can’t explain. But once you experience the tranquil atmosphere of a pottery studio, you’ll be back for more!
