Pottery Classes at Hinckley Pottery

Our pottery studio specializes in teaching wheel thrown pottery and offers instruction for all levels of experience. Pottery classes are informal and are kept small to guarantee a wheel for every student. Each class is two-and-a-half hours long.

Beginners get grounding in pottery fundamentals. They learn how to center a mound of clay, and how to throw, trim and glaze their pots. Generally, after one 10-week session, they can make mugs, bowls, and other basic forms.

Intermediate and advanced students work on refining skills and glazing techniques. They learn how to make larger and more complex forms, and explore methods for altering thrown pots to create ovals and other shapes.
