They will also give you plenty of tips and tricks to help you improve your technique and avoid common mistakes. Whether you want to learn hand building, wheel throwing, or kintsugi (the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold), our teachers will make sure you have a fun and fulfilling learning experience. And don’t worry, they won’t be too hard on you if you make a mess or break something - they know that accidents happen and that’s part of the learning curve!
