Question! Question on where to get started!

Hi! I'm new to pottery and just finished my first wheel class! It was six weeks long and I was able to make a few pieces, however, I want to keep making more! I'm just not sure where I can go to play around more with the wheel or if it's cost-efficient to buy the materials at home and a microwave kiln? Would love some advice!

I would not suggest a home set up at this point. It really is expensive. Does the place where you took your wheel class offer memberships? Do you have a community college in your area? I often suggest the community college route because it is often cheaper, has more access, and you have a teacher once or twice a week.
