Welcome to Filthy Habit!

Some important things to know for your first class or lesson:

Level One Wheel Class

• Feel free to park in the lot behind the building off the alley. You can come in through the back door at the top of the stairs.

• Clothing: When we throw we straddle the wheels with one leg on both sides, so skirts and shorter shorts don’t really work.

• Tools: You will need tools! Search for “beginner wheel throwing pottery kit” online.

• It’s quite a bit harder to throw clay with long nails. You may want to shorten your style.

• Drinking coffee before class can be counter-productive. Please come prepared to slow down, breathe and relax… :)

  Private Lessons

  No tools are required for private lessons. Please arrive at the appointed time. It may not be possible to admit you if you come early on a busy day.

  Clothing: When we throw we straddle the wheels with one leg on both sides, so skirts and shorter shorts don’t really work.

  Please wear clothing that you don’t mind getting a bit dirty!
