Teen Wheel Throwing Wednesdays
Ages 12 and up, 8 weekly sessions, 4:00pm to 6:00pm
Service Description
Our Teen Wheel Throwing Sessions are designed to give your child the time, space, and personal attention to truly enjoy the pottery process. Each session includes eight consecutive 2-hour classes, with a maximum of just 10 students per class. Our intentionally small class size means more hands-on guidance, more opportunities to ask questions, and more time to develop their skills at their own pace. Whether your child is touching clay for the first time or already has some experience at the wheel, they'll find a welcoming space to learn, experiment, and grow. Beginners will build a strong foundation in wedging, centering, and creating forms on the wheel, while more experienced potters can refine their techniques and receive individualized guidance from our instructors. We proudly use SHIMPO VL-WHISPER pottery wheels, featuring an exceptional Direct Drive motor. The brushless, beltless motor uses a magnetic system and electronic controls to create an exceptionally quiet throwing experience. No distracting motor noise — just you, the clay, and the wheel. Once your child joins a Wheel Throwing Session, your child's place is theirs to keep. Students are automatically enrolled in each subsequent eight-week session, so they can continue building their practice without having to re-register each time. Enrollment is billed every eight weeks. When you're ready to take a break, simply email us at studio@artsybeast.com to pause your enrollment. We love seeing what happens when students have the time and consistency to develop their craft — and we're happy to have you with us for as long as you'd like to keep throwing. The minimum age to register for this class is 12 years old. And because we want our studio to remain a beautiful, functional space for everyone, ceramic pieces not picked up within three months will be considered a donation to the studio.
