Classes
Learn to Work With Clay
Learn the skills needed to transform a lump of clay into a bowl or cup that you can use at home! All levels are welcome. Each season we offer a multi-week class session, allowing time to teach you all the steps and get in both firings. Classes meet once a week for 3 hours.
While our classes are primarily taught on electric wheels, all of our teachers are skilled handbuilders and offer handbuilding instruction as needed. On the potters wheel we will teach you how to center, form shapes, trim and finish pots. And for the REALLY adventurous, we can combine wheel and handbuilding! Everyone, both wheel and handbuilders, will also learn about decorating and glazing their work.
Our Spring session is a 7 week session beginning April 8th through May 25th.
