Wheel Taster &

Date Night 

College St.

The name says date night, but it’s really just a fun night with clay! Come with your partner, your bestie or just yourself! Everyone gets their own wheel! Try it for the first time, share some laughs, and walk away with muddy hands and happy memories.
Because a date with clay (and maybe yourself) is always a good idea.

How It Works

  • Please arrive at least 5 minutes early. The first 20 minutes of class include essential demonstrations and safety instructions. Missing this portion may affect your ability to fully participate.
  • The final 20 minutes are reserved for cleanup.
  • You will be introduced to the basics of wheel throwing through hands-on practice.
  • An experienced instructor will guide you step-by-step and provide live demonstrations throughout the session.
  • During the class, you will have the chance to try shaping multiple forms on the wheel.
  • Finished pieces should remain within approximately 10-12 cm (4-5 inches) in width and height. 
  • At the end of the session, you will choose your favourite piece to keep. It might be a cup, a bowl, or something uniquely abstract.
  • Your selected piece will be trimmed, bisque-fired, glazed, and glaze-fired by our studio team after the workshop.
  • Finished work will be ready for pickup in approximately 4-5 weeks. You will be notified by email when it is ready.
  • The final part of the session includes studio cleanup. Taking care of our shared space is part of the studio spirit.
    Please note: Make-up classes are not guaranteed. If space becomes available in another session, we may be able to accommodate a make-up class.
    All make-up classes are subject to a $25 make-up class fee.
