Classes

  • 10 Week Courses

    A 10 week long introductory course for those who have never worked on a pottery wheel, or who want to brush up on their skills. Class meets once a week for 2.5 hours to learn the basics of wheel thrown pottery: wedging, centering, pulling, trimming, glazing, and studio etiquette.

    This course also covers basic hand-building instruction. Included in the cost of class is everything you need while you are in class, in addition to open studio time to practice what you are learning.

  • Clay Dates

    A one-time, 2 hour class designed for couples, friends, or small groups that want to have fun, get creative, get a little messy, and learn what it takes to make a pot on the pottery wheel.

    You will try out a pottery wheel as the instructor guides you through making your own unique pot that will be fired in the glaze of your choice. Work will be finished and ready for you to pick up at the pottery studio in approximately 2 weeks.
