This 8-week class is a wild combination of wheel throwing and hand building for all levels! Our goal in this class is to give you the best possible clay education while keeping the vibe and atmosphere fun and inviting. Specifically, for wheel you'll learn centering via coning up and down, opening the form, pulling the walls of the clay pot, trimming your pots (carving and finishing the bottoms), and glazing them (the top coat). In the hand-building sessions, we will cover slabs, coils, attachments, and textures. Advanced students will be given room to explore and will be guided towards their goals. This 8-week course will meet every Saturday beginning July 12th from 10 am - 1 pm, with the final class being held on August 30th. There is one make-up session per person per class if you are sick or life gets in the way. Please email us if you need to reschedule, and we will coordinate with you! :)

Check out the agenda section on our Eventbrite listing linked below for a breakdown of what we have planned for each week. Additionally, we have 4-week intro pottery classes and 1-day pottery workshops, all listed now through the end of August 2025! Visit our events page for a full list of happenings :)
