What's New
Clay DatesFriday evening Clay Dates are returning in July, and sign up is avaiable now. Please go to our Clay Date page to sign up. Even with the extra class, classes fill up quickly. We are typically booking several months in advance. Please plan ahead if you are looking to book a Clay Date, espcially if you have a group of people. Classes are adults only, and we try to keep them to around 8 students. More information is available on our Clay Date page. Pottery ClassesWe currently have a higher demand for classes than we can accomodate. This means that our 2022 Beginning Pottery classes have filled for the year. We now have more people on our waiting list than we have class spaces. If you would like to be notified when we post our 2023 scheudle, please email us at [email protected]. Include your name, email, and phone number. We will add you to the waiting list, but you probably won't get contacted for a class this year. We will contact people on the waitlist when we post our 2023 schedule in the fall (usually in Ocotber).

My friend and I had a fun time (although we were awful at making pottery) and we plan to try it again sometime. Our instructor, I believe his name was Francis, was very helpful and patient while showing us what to do. I would highly recommend anyone to attend his class or a class in general. Gift Certificates AvailableIntroduce your friends to the joys of making pottery. It's the perfect gift for someone who has everything. Call our office at 612-852-2787 to puchase.
