Private Wheel Throwing Class

    Sign up for a class here!

    1.5 hours
    $150 for 1 person
    $200 for 2 people 

    You will have the opportunity to learn to throw (working on the pottery wheel) out of Janna's private studio in Barrio Logan.  Classes are limited.

    In this class you will learn how to:

    • prepare your clay
    • center and cone your piece
    • pull walls that will create your masterpiece! 

    Typically people can make 2-4 pieces in a class.

    Pottery making is a long process, therefore once you make your pieces you will leave them to dry in the studio and Janna will glaze and fire them for you. You will have your choice of glaze color which we can decide on at the end of your class.  The drying and firing process can take around 3 weeks. You will be contacted once your pieces are ready to go home! 

    This class is perfect for beginners or anyone who wants to test out their hand at the wheel before committing to a multiple weeks class.  You will have one-on-one instruction which ensures you get all the attention that would normally be divided among a bigger class!

    *A non-refundable deposit of $50 will be requested at the time of booking and will be deducted from the final payment to be made at the time of your class.

    MARCH EVENTS

    • 3.14  Crave Art Show
      A one-night-only collision of NYC warehouse energy and San Diego’s creative underground. This isn’t just another night out—it’s a scene, and you want to be in it. Local artists, a projected skate film, music that moves you, and a space buzzing with the right people.
      Sip on a perfectly crafted Negroni (or a nonalcoholic option that actually hits)—first drink’s on us. Expect art, music, and an atmosphere you won’t find anywhere else.
      Doors at 6:30 PM. We’re done at 10:30 PM—if you know, you know.
      Limited tickets. No second chances. Be there.

     

    • 3.22 Handbuilding Workshop at ThreadSpun

      In this hand-building workshop, you will learn a 4,000 year old practice of building pottery by what is called coil building. You will have access to clay, tools, and glaze to create your own coiled pieces of your choice, whether that's a teacup, bowl or vase. The form you create is up to you!

      In this 2 hour class, Janna of isiko will instruct and guide you through the process of creating your work. Ceramics is a time consuming art, therefore, once you finish your pieces they will be left to dry and fired in Janna's studio where you will be able to pick up your pieces when ready! (About 3-4 weeks)

      Drinks and snack will be provided. You will also receive 15% off of a Thread Spun purchase on the day of the event only.
