I’m a total beginner. Where should I start?

Experience the Wheel will give you a taste of what working with clay is like, without the pressure of a group class, and a lesser time commitment.
Confident pottery is going to be for you? We recommend the Pottery 101 course for a comprehensive series on the basics.

How long does it take to make something?

This can vary greatly depending on experience level, attention to detail and complexity of the project.
A handbuilding project can often be built in one visit.
Creations on the potters’ wheel typically take two visits 5-8 days apart.

Both styles then need to dry completely before going into the kiln for bisque firing. Then they are glazed and fired a second time. If you participate in a workshop, or drop off a take away kit, you can expect 10-14 days before your piece is finished.

What forms of payment do you accept?

We accept e-transfers to clayverlys@gmail.com, cash, debit or all major credit cards in the studio.

What is the difference between handbuilding and the potters’ wheel?

Handbuilding is the term used to describe any pottery work done off the wheel, at a table. It can include pinch pot, coil building and slab work. The potters’ wheel is a motorized spinning table top.

What should I wear to the studio?

Clothes that you don’t mind getting dirty, and closed toe, wipeable shoes. Leave your rings, bracelets, watches etc at home. Long fingernails are a hinderance.
Please note that we are a scent free environment so do your best to avoid scented perfumes/colognes, hair products, lotions and deodorants.
