Session Overview
Tobias lays out the skills you’ll build and the four pieces you’ll finish in this session. He invites you to clear a corner of the kitchen table and treat it like a studio bench for the next two weeks.

Getting Started at the Wheel
Tobias walks through the four pieces you’ll finish and how he went from washing dishes in a restaurant to running a studio of his own. He asks you to name the objects you reach for daily, then covers clay bodies, wedging, and the short list of tools worth buying first.

Meet Your Instructor: Tobias Reyes
Welcome to the studio. Tobias shares the detours and the setbacks behind his work — and how a kiln that cracked three days before his first show taught him more than any class he had taken.

Find the Shape You Keep Reaching For
Noticing what you already reach for is perhaps Tobias’s most useful lesson. He asks you to study the mugs and bowls you actually use — the heavy ones, the chipped ones — and name what keeps you coming back.
