What to Expect
What should you anticipate during a class or lesson at BellyFire? To start, we'll introduce ourselves and get to know you better. We're interested in learning whether you're right-handed or left-handed, your level of experience in pottery, any specific ideas you have in mind for your project, and how you discovered us. Following introductions, the instructor will provide a brief overview of the process at a high level. Then, they'll delve into a more detailed, hands-on demonstration, typically lasting about five minutes. Once the demonstration is complete, it's your turn to take the wheel! You'll have the opportunity to throw under the guidance of our skilled instructors, who will provide personalized instruction to help you create your masterpiece. Feel free to ask our instructors to capture the moment by taking a photo - we're always happy to help preserve your pottery-making memories!
