Master the Pottery Wheel
(in weeks, not months)
Taken pottery classes before with no success? Learning the pottery wheel isn't difficult, it just takes learning the right techniques and understanding WHY they work.
Have you ever taken a wheel throwing class and left feeling discouraged or confused?
Most people do. Not because pottery is difficult, but because it’s difficult to teach well.
I’ve taught hundreds of students to center and pull their first cylinder in a single session. Through that experience, I’ve developed specific techniques that are tested on real beginners and designed to get consistent results quickly. Instead of guessing what you’re doing wrong, you’ll finally understand what to do and why.
In this course, you’ll learn a clear, step-by-step system to wedge, center, open, and pull walls with confidence - the foundation for creating mugs, bowls, plates, and more. You’ll also learn how to fix mistakes, trim clean professional foot rings, and finish pieces you’re proud of.
You’ll leave this course knowing exactly what to do every time you sit down at the wheel, with the skills and confidence to create your own finished pottery and the opportunity to receive ongoing feedback so you can keep improving.
Pottery isn’t about talent. It’s about being taught in a way that finally makes sense.
