I am teaching “Beginning Wheel” for adults who have an interest in learning how to make pottery on the wheel for the first time, or those that have minimal experience. Classes are for six weeks, meeting twice weekly in the evenings from 6:30 PM – 8:00 PM at my studio in Haydenville.
Registration for Spring 2026 is now complete. However, I am compiling a "wait" list. In the event someone withdraws I will contact individuals in the order that they are listed. Otherwise, I will be in contact prior to the opening of Fall 2026 registration and give you the opportunity to sign up first.
Pease use the form at the bottom to
contact me regarding your interest.
Classes will begin April 28th and end June 4, 2026. The tuition is $345.00. This fee includes the usage of clay, throwing and trimming tools, water bucket, sponge, etc. Finished pieces will be glazed and fired.
I recommend making an appointment to
come see my studio and the space in which you will be working. We can
discuss further various aspects of the class. Please contact me
through the form on this page to express your interest in learning to
throw pottery on the wheel. Once the quota has been met, I will keep a “waiting list” in the event someone changes
their mind.
There is a required $50.00 non-refundable deposit for registration.
Balance payment of $295.00 will be due on the first meeting of class. Methods of payment can be cash, check, or Venmo.

Student Testimonials
"Lucien is a patient and thoughtful teacher with a tremendous amount of knowledge to impart. The 2 or 3-peron learning environment provides a terrific foundational introduction to wheel throwing, and the studio is a beautiful and well-equipped setting to learn in. This is a great opportunity for a lot of individual instruction and troubleshooting as you learn the joys and challenges of making pots on the wheel"!

A bit about my experience: I have been involved with ceramics since 1976. I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree (ECU) and a Master of Fine Arts degree (U. of IA), in Ceramics. I have taught clay at the university level (UNC-Charlotte), private high school (Northfield-Mount Herman) and public high school (Greenfield High School) level. I maintain my own studio and make work that has been, and continues to be, exhibited in national and international venues.
