See what our customers have to say about their experience.

— Denise, Kickstart student, now member

★★★★★

"All of 2025, our family was in chaos. I was at home and never really got out. Pottery was my way to get out and do something for myself — to have my own thing. That's why I'm here all the time. It's something I can do for myself to ground myself, to be able to go home and be a good mom for my kids and my family."

— Malia, studio member

What you'll walk away with

This is what four weeks at Throw looks like.

Time that's actually yours

2.5 hours where you're not a mom, employee, or caretaker. Just someone making something with her hands.

A skill that sticks

Centering clay and pulling walls is a foundation you keep forever. You'll be surprised how fast it clicks.

Something real to take home

2-3 finished, glazed, fired pieces made by your own hands. Real things you made yourself — not a kit.

What you'll learn

Four sessions, one skill at a time.

01

Centering the Clay

We start at the beginning. You'll learn to center and open the clay — the foundation everything else builds on.

02

Pulling Walls

This is where your piece takes shape. You'll pull walls, feel the clay move, and make your first real form.

03

Trimming + Finishing

Once your pieces are leather-hard, you'll trim and refine them. This is what separates a rough throw from a finished piece.

04

Glazing Day

You pick the colors. You glaze your pieces. We hand them off to the kiln — and a couple weeks later, you take them home finished.

Pieces are typically ready for pickup 2-3 weeks after your final session. We'll let you know as soon as they're done.

A note from JohnPaul

JohnPaul Ryan, Founder of Throw Art Studio

I kept hearing the same thing over and over.

Woman after woman would come up to me after class and tell me how much the studio had meant to them. Not just the pottery — but having a place that was theirs.

Two and a half hours where no one needed anything from them. Where they could make something with their hands and walk out feeling like themselves again.

That kept coming up. Every cohort. That's what the Kickstart is built around. Four weeks, a small group, and a real skill you'll keep forever. We take care of everything. You just show up.

— JohnPaul Ryan, Founder of Throw Art Studio

Not the right fit if...

  • — You want unstructured drop-in time with no guidance
  • — You can't commit to 4 consecutive weeks
  • — You're looking to skip the basics and jump into advanced work

Less than a massage. Less than a night out. And you'll have something to show for it.

The real cost

What happens if you wait.

"Every single cohort, someone walks in and says — I've been wanting to do this for years."

And every single time, I think: why did it take so long? The answer is usually the same. Life got in the way. The kids needed something. Work got busy. There was always a reason to put it off.

The cost of waiting isn't $97. It's another month of putting yourself last. Another season that passes without something that's genuinely yours.

You've already earned the time. This is just the moment you decide to take it.

We've heard it all

You might be thinking...

"But I'm not artistic."

You don't have to be. Pottery isn't about talent — it's about feel, and feel is something anyone can develop with the right guidance. We start at the very beginning, go at a pace that works for everyone, and most people surprise themselves within the first session.

"I don't have time."

We know life is full. That's exactly why the Kickstart is designed the way it is — just 2.5 hours, once a week, for four weeks. Small enough to fit in. Meaningful enough to actually feel like yours.

"I'll wait until things slow down."

Things rarely slow down on their own — but you can choose to carve out a little space anyway. The Kickstart is designed to fit into a full life, not wait for a perfect one. Picking a date is often all it takes to make it real.

Common questions

Good to know before you sign up.

Do I need any experience?

None at all. This course is designed for people who have never touched clay. We start at the very beginning and go at a pace that works for everyone in the group.

What's included?

Everything. Clay, all tools and materials, glazing, and kiln firing of your finished pieces. Just show up -- there's nothing to bring.

When are classes?

Multiple cohort times are available. Check current availability to find a day and time that works for you.

What if I miss a session?

Missed sessions need to be made up within the same month the course runs. Just reach out and we'll get you rescheduled -- we'll do everything we can to make it work.

Can I bring a friend?

Yes -- it's encouraged. A lot of people sign up together. Just make sure you're both in the same cohort so you're learning side by side. Spots go fast, so don't wait.

What happens after the course?

A lot of students keep going. We offer memberships for ongoing studio access so you can keep practicing whenever you want. We'll share the details at the end of your course -- no pressure at all.

Small groups. Real time at the wheel.

We cap every cohort at 10 students so you get actual hands-on time — not just a demonstration. Once a session fills, we open the waitlist for the next one.
