The ONLY pottery studio inside the Loop that offers a REAL pottery experience! 5 week Adult Beginner Pottery classes are offered throughout the year. Register on our website. Learn all about clay: handbuilding, using the pottery wheel, glaze (color) you pieces, and participate in a Raku firing. At the end of the 5 week session you will have about 6 – 8 amazing pottery pieces that YOU made from scratch. Classes fill up early! Children’s classes are also online. The Gallery sells fine, handmade pottery from local professional potters. Perfect for that unique gift item.

History

Established in 1979.

Foelber Pottery was established in 1979 by John Foelber. It is now a family run business with John, wife Judy Adams and a few other wonderful potters all working together to keep things humming.

The Studio is fully equipped and busy throughout the week with beginner through advanced students. Classes for adults and children. Private pottery parties are also available.

The Gallery is housed in a charming 1930 building. Exhibitions of fine, handcrafted pottery by local craftsmen are hosted September through May.

I wanted to pick up a new hobby and always thought that pottery was really interesting. FYI, there aren’t a lot of places in Houston (especially in the loop) to learn pottery so when I stumbled upon this place, I was ecstatic considering it was close to where I lived.
For adult beginner classes, there are 5 sessions that are 2 hours long in which you can learn how to do do hand molded pottery and using the wheel. I don’t feel like it’s really structured but you do learn the basics and the classes are really easy going.
My only complaint was I wish that the instructors showed us more sculptures to get ideas of what sort of pottery pieces to make. I do suggest that they should take pictures of some of the best pieces from each class and just have a photo book for the students to just scroll through. I would benefit a lot since I am not that creative.
I enjoyed my experience but am not going to be continuing the classes moreso because of the price– which is a whooping $ 170 for the 5 sessions. Also, I just didn’t know what to do with all of my pieces, I don’t have a lot of storage.

I took a beginner Potter Class through Foelber studio. The class was five weeks long, and lead you through the complete claymaking process — hand, wheel, glazing, and firing. The owners gave a lot of hands on advice to help you feel comfortable with the wheel. They were also understanding about scheduling — I had a work conflict one week, and they let me reschedule class and come on Saturday for that session.
On the last day of class, they threw a potluck pottery, and let us tour the gallery. There were some really great pieces! I ended up with five pieces of my own creation, two of which I consider presentable (and one of those ended up in my office at work). I’d like to return to foelber for more practice throwing pottery on a wheel.
