One-on-one beginning wheel throwing lesson taught by Lisa Fontaine in her home studio in the Berkeley Hills.

Pottery takes patience, and things can get a little messy—but that's part of the fun! By the end of the class, you can expect to make 3 handmade pieces. The pieces you make will be trimmed and glazed (by me) and shipped to you within 6 weeks.

No experience needed—just bring your curiosity and be ready to get your hands dirty. All of the clay and tools you will use will be supplied by me.
