- Hand-building workshops often cost less than wheel throwing classes, and still teach coiling, pinching and slab building.
- Booking a multi-week pottery course can cost less per class than paying for separate one-off workshops.
- Making fewer, smaller pieces in a pottery class can keep down any extra charges for clay and firing.
- Group pottery classes cost less per person than private lessons with the same instructor.
