Pottery FreeStyler Sessions
Pottery Freestyler is designed for experienced ceramicists who want time, tools, and space to work on their own wheel-thrown projects. Whether you’re refining techniques or simply in the mood to create, this is your time to focus, explore and enjoy the process.
You’ll have access to wheels, a wedging bench, and basic studio tools, plus tea and coffee. One of our instructors will be on hand to offer support, troubleshoot any issues, or help guide your creative process but there’s no formal teaching during these sessions. It’s independent making, with a helping hand nearby if needed.
