Learn the basics of wheel throwing, no experience necessary at our DTLA Arts District studio! Classes meet for two hours each week for a total of four sessions, with open studio time every day for you to practice on your own. See our schedule below.
Sliding Scale Pricing:
There are Sliding Scale price options available for this class. Please select the scale option that feels right for you and your current finances.
The high end of the scale is the true cost of the class, and we encourage you to select this if you are able as it will allow us to continue to expand our affordable class options for all.
There are a set amount of spaces for each option, and if one is sold out, we encourage you to register for the following month or reach out to our studio team at classes@stilllifeceramics.com.
This class will be held at our new DTLA location: 588 Mateo St.
