Mindfulness meets the Wheel
Welcome to Wheelfulness Studio, where we offer mindfulness-based pottery classes in a quiet and relaxing space. Classes are held in small groups to support personalised guidance and a meditative experience.
About
The Wheelfulness Story
Before opening Wheelfulness Pottery in 2019, I spent many years in academia, first completing a PhD in Psychology and then working as a university lecturer.
I discovered the therapeutic benefits of wheelwork while taking pottery classes in my spare time.
After years of working predominantly with my mind, I found it very grounding to work with my hands. Shaping clay on the pottery wheel invited me to step out of my head and experience a more embodied way of being.
Over time, what began as a personal mindfulness practice evolved into a desire to bring pottery and psychology together and share the benefits of working with clay with others. Since opening Wheelfulness Pottery, I have completed specialised training in Clay Field® Therapy and developed Clayfulness™, my own approach to somatic meditation and self-exploration through clay.

More than a pottery class
The Wheelful Way
With Wheelfulness, the wheel is not only a tool for shaping clay, but also a way of cultivating mindfulness. Our pottery classes include somatic cues designed to deepen the therapeutic benefits of wheelwork. Wheelfulness supports the development of presence, self-regulation, and a centred way of being, both at the wheel and in everyday life.
Calm
Ground your body and settle into stillness.
Center
Develop an embodied awareness of your center.
Connect
Connect with the energetics of centripetal and centrifugal forces.
Our pottery courses
Just like other pottery wheel courses, we offer making, glazing, and kiln-firing. What sets Wheelfulness apart is the integration of somatic mindfulness and the small group size. Classes are capped at four participants, ensuring personalized guidance to support a steady and embodied learning process.
1-on-1 Sessions
Whether you’re seeking a mindfulness-based introduction to the pottery wheel or a more reflective somatic therapy, 1-on-1 sessions can be tailored to your needs. As a trauma-informed clay therapist, Bettina offers a gentle and supportive way to help you connect with your core and develop inner stillness through embodied centering at the wheel.
