Hand-sculpting vs Pottery wheel
The hand-sculpting session offers a unique experience where you work with clay using just your hands and simple tools, without a pottery wheel. This approach emphasizes molding and shaping the clay manually, allowing you to create one-of-a-kind, freeform pieces.
In contrast, pottery wheel sessions focus on spinning the clay to craft beautifully symmetrical designs. Both methods offer distinct creative opportunities, whether you prefer the organic flow of hand-sculpting or the precision of wheel throwing.
