About
The Wheelfulness Story
Wheelfulness Pottery was founded in 2019 by Bettina Stevanovic, combining her background in psychology with her love of pottery. Before finding her way to clay, Bettina spent several years in academia, first completing a PhD in Psychology and then teaching at university. She started doing pottery as a way to soothe her overactive mind. Over time, what began as a personal mindfulness practice evolved into a professional calling.

More than a pottery class
The Wheelful Way
Wheelfulness sessions include somatic mindfulness prompts that not only enhance your pottery skills but also deepen the therapeutic benefits of wheelwork. These self-reflective prompts help you develop a more embodied and balanced way of being, both at the pottery wheel and in everyday life.
Calm
Ground your body and settle into stillness.
Create
Learn to shape the clay through an embodied awareness of centripetal and centrifugal forces involved in wheelwork.
Connect
Connect with your own center and reflect on how being centered feels physically and energetically.
