Whether you are brand new to ceramics, would like to brush up on some skills, or are a master potter, we have a class for you. Class series are available from teens to adults. Private sessions are available for ages 6+
Class sizes are kept small so that sessions can be structured around the individual student, while getting to enjoy our amazing ceramic community. Class begins with instructor led demonstrations of a wide spectrum of techniques.
We offer wheel, hand-building, and mixed medium classes. Classes range from structured and foundationally focused lessons to free flowing and conceptual development. Our instructors help guide students down whichever path they choose while introducing new techniques and processes along the way. We would love to help you get your hands in some clay!
