Every potter needs a strong foundation, and this course is the perfect place to begin.

Designed for brand-new potters, Getting Started at the Wheel covers the essential knowledge and skills you need before moving into our project-based courses. It is also a helpful refresher for anyone returning to the wheel after a long break or looking to strengthen their technique and build more confidence with clay.

If you are firing your own kiln, I would encourage you to also complete the course on Kilns in order to learn about how you can successfully fire your kiln at home. This course can be found in the catalog under the category "Studio Skills" Not ready to fire a kiln yet, there is a section on how to find places to fire and transport your pots safely.
