Pottery: Wheel Throwing — May–July 2026
About the Class
Step away from the week and into the studio — clay in hand, wheel spinning, nothing else on your mind. This 8-week wheel throwing class with instructor Lisette Bedoya is a standing invitation to slow down, play, and make something with your hands.
Beginners and experienced throwers are both welcome. The atmosphere is relaxed and supportive, and you move at whatever pace suits you. Each 2.5-hour session focuses on the fundamentals of wheel throwing and the properties of clay, working toward functional ware — cups, plates, and bowls — the kind of pieces that actually get used and bring a little joy to your kitchen table.
With just 7 spots in the class, Lisette is able to give real, individualized attention to each student. Clay and all firing are included, so there’s nothing to bring but yourself.
Tuesdays, May 19 – July 7 | 10am–12:30pm | 8 weeks | All levels welcome
Materials
All materials and firings are included.
Cancellation Policy

Lisette Bedoya
Lisette Bedoya, a Hunterdon County resident, is relishing the joys of nature and serenity found west of her native Hudson County. Pottery is an unwavering passion as an instructor sharing the love of mud with all ages for over twenty-five years teaching primarily at the Visual Arts Center of NJ in Summit and currently sharing her time at more studios, Flemington Pottery, Old Borough Hall Pottery in High Bridge, A Maker’s Circle in Pottersville and Propagate in Stewartsville. An artist who typically creates functional pieces on the potter’s wheel, for Lisette, the ancient firing method of Raku is a cherished way to produce decorative pieces. Demonstrating Raku firings for crowds at the Visual Arts Center is an added joy to teaching and sharing the passion of mudslinging with others.
