Throwing Jam !

THROWING JAM! is a community gathering to practice, play, improvise, and have fun at the pottery wheel, without any pressure to produce finished pieces. Participants will have access to a large quantity of recycled clay. Wedge, center, pull… and start again! Freely explore shapes, techniques, and different amounts of clay without worrying about the final result.

It’s the perfect opportunity to push the limits of the material: try throwing pieces as thin as possible, working with larger amounts of clay, or experimenting with new techniques you’ve been curious about!

The JAM is not a formal class, but a space for personal exploration and sharing. Our teaching team will be present throughout the session to offer guidance. Questions are welcome, and occasional assistance will be available, but there will be no lengthy demonstrations or in-depth instruction.

Prerequisite: Participants must have completed more than 4 weeks of pottery wheel classes. This minimum level of experience is required.

Additional fee: Participants may choose to keep the pieces they make for a small additional fee.

Please note: Take a moment to read all the information on this page and our workshop guide before your session.

    This pottery class is for adults only.

    A few recommendations before your pottery session:

    • Keep your nails short

    • Do not wear rings, bracelets, or watches

    • Wear appropriate clothing and shoes for a studio environment

  • Only if you chose to keep pieces during the workshop. (See “How the session unfolds” for more info)

    You will receive an email approximately one month after your session, once your ceramic piece is ready for pickup. Be sure to check your spam or junk folder!

    You will then have 2 weeks to come pick up your pieces during our designated pickup hours. Please bring the email with you. If you are unavailable, you may ask someone else to pick up your pieces — they must show your email as proof.

    After the 2-week period, any unclaimed pieces will be donated.

    Please note that your piece may crack or break during firing — pottery takes practice! This is why this workshop is focused on the experience, not the final result.
