Whether you dream of the wheel or of building by hand, we recommend beginning with hand-building. It's the gentlest introduction to clay — a chance for your hands to get to know the material and understand its temperament, with room to explore your creativity from day one.
Jumping straight onto the wheel is exciting, but for someone who has never touched clay it can also be stressful, and it quickly becomes about technique rather than creative exploration. Hand-building opens the door to almost anything you can imagine; in many ways the wheel is the more limiting of the two.
