Beginner Wheel & Handbuilding

New to clay? This is your starting point. Our beginner wheel throwing and handbuilding classes are designed for complete newcomers. No experience necessary; just curiosity and a willingness to get your hands dirty. Learn to centre and shape clay on the pottery wheel, or explore handbuilding techniques like pinching, coiling, and slab construction. Both paths are taught by our expert instructors in Parkdale Pottery's welcoming, women-owned Toronto studio. Whether you're drawn to the meditative rhythm of the wheel or the free-form creativity of handbuilding, we'll help you get started.
