Classes
The goal of our classes is to give you an introduction to pottery. We want you to learn what it takes to throw a pot, but it's just as important to us that you have a good experience.
We have a spacious and well-lit classroom. You will have your own shelf on which to store your tools and work. We provide the tools, buckets, and towels you need for the class. We also have open studio time during our office hours so you can come in and practice what you learned in your class.
The following is a list of the classes and activities we offer.
- Clay Date (2 hours)
- Beginning Pottery (8 weeks)
- Beginning Pottery Part 2 (6 weeks)
All our 2022 Beginning and Beginning Part 2 classes have filled, and our waiting list is longer than we can accomodate this year.
