A Creative Journey: Pottery for Hesitant Beginners
If you’re unsure about trying pottery for the first time, don’t fear— Super Awesome Cool Pottery’s team has some simple advice for you: “Don't worry, you will get messy but it all washes out! And be okay with the imperfect, clay is finicky and can change in an instant.” Pottery is all about embracing the process, and there’s no need to stress over perfection.
For those who are hesitant to begin, their advice is clear: “Just start. Be okay with the uncomfortable or the imperfect, and keep trying. We all know practice makes perfect, so keep going and learn from your mistakes.”
The experience of working with clay is uniquely rewarding. Beginners often find that creating something with their hands — something that can never be exactly replicated — is an incredibly fulfilling part of the process. Whether inspired by a TikTok trend or an original idea, it’s about expressing creativity in a tangible form.
One of the studio’s teachers explains, “One of our awesome teachers will teach you how to throw a bowl or two on a Potter’s Wheel, and while you’re choosing your colors, we’ll be drying them just enough to be able to be painted when you’re done. It’s always fun to see the different shapes and sizes of bowls that people come away with, and it’s even cooler to see how many hidden artists we have around Orlando with how well they paint it!”
It’s this combination of hands-on learning and creative freedom that makes pottery such a memorable and rewarding experience for beginners and seasoned artists alike.
A Bright Future Ahead: Growing, Collaborating, and Creating Community Connections
The future is bright for this Orlando treasure, with exciting plans in the works to bring even more people together through art. Super Awesome Cool Pottery is expanding its offerings, from themed trivia nights and kids’ camps to more family events. They’re also eager to collaborate with local artists and businesses to further enrich the city’s creative scene.
“We want to continue to grow and share the craft of pottery with as many people as we can,” the team shared. “Our goal is to collaborate with local events and markets, or even create fun classes in popular community spaces where people around Orlando can come and quickly make a bowl on the wheel, paint pottery, or sculpt clay.”
Additionally, the studio offers a membership for artists to create their own clay masterpieces, from large vases to intricate sculptures. While they haven’t yet had the time to develop full partnerships due to their busy schedule with camps and events, they are excited about the potential for future collaborations.
Super Awesome Cool Pottery isn’t just a studio; it’s a movement to bring more art into our lives. Whether you’re a seasoned artist or a curious beginner, this local gem offers a space to create, connect and celebrate the joy of art. So next time you’re in Orlando, don’t miss out on this super awesome cool experience!
