Meet the wheel. Stay a while.

There’s a moment on the wheel where things start to click—where your hands begin to understand what your brain has been trying to tell them. This intensive is designed to get you there.

Over three consecutive days, participants spend dedicated time at the wheel building foundational skills through guided practice and repetition. You’ll focus on centering, forming, and refining essential shapes—working through the process multiple times so adjustments can be made in real time.

As forms begin to feel more consistent, you’ll move into keeping pieces, refining them through trimming, and finishing with simple surface decoration.

This is where the premium nature of the intensive comes in: extended, consecutive time with an instructor, focused on practice and troubleshooting. Instead of waiting a week between sessions, you stay in it—building momentum, gaining confidence, and progressing more quickly.

The focus is on foundational forms—cylinders, bowls, and simple vessels—but more importantly, on understanding how clay moves and how to respond to it.

A Glazy Day session is included to bring your finished pieces to life.
