Learn to throw more like you! Are you ready?

Join me in learning how to use clay to make functional pottery. Students will be introduced to ways the wheel and handbuilding tools can be used to create functional or abstract pieces, such as cylinders, bowls, or trays. These are forms to build strong foundations in clay. Through demonstrations and hands-on learning, each class will build off the other and gain clay skills and confidence.

While Clay, glazes, firings, and a generous amount of studio time are included in the class price (starting at $425), tool kits are extra, as we know some people already have them. This is a mixed level class for ages 14+. No prior clay experience is necessary as we welcome all levels in clay.

Our 6-week class session starts at $300 + supplies and materials

The current session runs through June 28thThe next 6 week session runs:

Registration includes:
1. You will have clay choices at checkout - all cone 5-6 clays. We have opted to make this an add-on due to:
—— our more experienced potters can pick and enjoying a variety of clay
—— some classes use a specific clay
—— removal of clay from their registration as they have an abundance
—— prefer to purchase their own clay through us or a reputable shop
2. Firing fees and glaze usage
3. Use of open studio hours to practice and improve your skills.
