learn the basics of throwing and pulling clay into objects you can use everyday in this 2 hour wheelthrowing session designed with beginners in mind.
we’ll show you how to make a set of bowls and/or cups and add decoration (if you’d like) with stamps and texture tools.
after class, you’ll choose a glaze and we’ll finish/fire your pieces and have them ready for pick-up within 3 weeks of class :-)
p.s. yes, we ship :-)

liza q. furr
(e)liza quinn furr is a lifelong floridian, multidisciplinary artist and lizard lover with a decade-long relationship with clay. she began making pots and throwing on the wheel in 2014 while studying at the university of north florida, where she earned a B.A. in sociology with a minor in ceramic arts. she taught at several art studios and museums throughout broward county before launching dirty lizard studio in august 2023.
liza usually pinches and coils clay into everyday objects (talking about a real form-and-function type of person) but occasionally can be found hopping on the wheel when she’s looking for a little excitement.
all the lovely little details
what to expect in class:
what you’ll make:
some beautiful pots with a whole lot of personality!
students generally make 2-3 pieces each — could be bowls, plates, short cups. small vases, etc.
where we’ll make it:
class occurs outdoors in our covered backyard studio. expect flora, fauna, and general #florida phenomena.
what you’ll keep:
you’ll get to keep any pieces you make, up to three pots each.
how we’ll glaze it:
we’ll coat your pieces in a clear glaze unless you choose to schedule a glazing day with us.
all pieces are food-safe once finished.
when you’ll get it:
we’ll text you when work is ready! please allow for 2-4 weeks of processing after class.
we appreciate the patience —this is a long process and we try hard to keep a steady schedule but sometimes things happen. we’ll keep in touch if so!
we will store work for 45 days after we text you your work is ready!!!
but also: life happens, just talk to us if you can’t get back to the studio in that time period and we will figure something out.
however, if we can’t get a hold of you, work will have to be sent to alternative storage (don’t worry, all pots go to heaven)
dress code? more like mess code…
make sure to dress for a mess, not for dinner!!
short nails, long pants, and closed-toed shoes are highly recommended.
👇 good things to know
four wheels // four people to a class
we have a max of four people in wheel classes. please, no surprises 🙏🏻
more than four? we’ll see if we can figure something out at the handbuilding table if you have a larger party. we teach many things beyond round things — pipe making, figure sculpting, etc — and the options are actually unlimited, so don’t hesitate to ask :)
how to find us:
you’re looking for a jungle house with a gravel driveway leading to a wooden gate. there’s big banyan tree in the front yard.
carpool if you can! we have room for one or two cars in the driveway.
you can also park on the street / swale under the trees (but not on the sidewalk, please!)
where to go when you get here:
you are there, we are here
once you’ve arrived, follow the gravel driveway to the sculpture at the wooden gate, we’ll come open up for ya.
you spin me right round, baby…
