Throw Pottery on a Mini Wheel

Lillie of Pottery Mouth Chicago will guide you through a hands-on mini pottery workshop where tiny wheels make big magic. You’ll learn how to throw ceramics on a wheel the size of a silver dollar with everything provided: mini wheels, air-dry clay, tools, and paints. Most students create 2–6 adorable mini pots to take home the same day. Enjoy the miniature show, then get your hands messy, and delight in a creative, feel-good time. No experience needed—just come ready to have fun! Bring an apron or an old tee you don’t mind getting a little clay on.
