Maker's Journey | Wheelhouse Studio

We're here during every part of your Maker's Journey. We curate our classes by level to help you push the bounds of your creative wheelhouse.

About The Journey

The mission of Wheelhouse is to be a partner is every maker's journey. But, what is it? Your journey starts the moment you decide to take your first Get Behind the Wheel or Foundations course.

We've built our classes into four distinct levels of creativity: Starter, Dabbler, Refiner, and Maker. We've found that traditional class levels didn't account for the nuance of the ceramicist's journey—especially those makers that are just starting out.

Our hope is that these levels help to guide you along your journey. After completing a Starter class or two, you may find yourself comfortable with the curriculum of a dabbler class. Then, you may begin to refine your skills as you make your way onto being an experienced potter or, simply, a maker at Wheelhouse Studio.

The Creativity Levels

Starter

Starter makers are just beginning their journey. Whether wheel throwing or handbuilding—they’re just trying it out for the first time and just introducing ceramics into their wheelhouse.

Dabbler

Dabblers are expanding their skills. This may be their second class, but they’re ready to play in the mud and continue building their ceramics knowledge.

Refiner

After dabbling, it’s time to refine your pottery skills. In these classes, you may learn a new technique or get a feel for a new form.

Maker

Makers are experienced potters. They may be looking to expand their knowledge beyond the art of ceramics and into the science. More on Makers coming soon..
