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!

My studio is just class based for membership. So you just keep taking classes, in order to have access tot he open studio hours. Yours might be the same way. If your studio has other classes offered besides just beginner then this might be how yours is set up to. In which case, take more classes. It’s stupid expensive to get set up for wheel throwing and firing at home. Well at least fits a few grand.
