Hand-building is a great way to explore many of the techniques humans have used for thousands of years to create functional and decorative objects out of clay. You’ll learn multiple ways to make a wide variety of pieces including mugs, bowls, vases and more. Each student can use up to 25 pounds of clay during the duration of the class. Students will also learn how to add unique surface designs to their pieces. You will also be taught how to maintain a safe studio environment. The session wraps up with a glazing lesson for your final class!

Your masterpieces will be ready to be picked up the following Saturday.

**Please note that this class is scheduled over Easter weekend. Our classes will still be in session, we ask that you plan accordingly.

This class is suitable for total beginners who have never ever touched a piece of clay before, and for those looking to practice and refine their skills.

Picking Up your Finished Pieces

Your pots will be ready for pick up the week after your last class just prior to your regular class start time. You will have 3 weeks to collect all of your pots. If you have not come to get them in that time they will be donated to a local charity.

Covid Protocols

We have transitioned away from a mandatory mask policy. Although we are not requiring masks in our studio at this time, should this change, we may require that masks be worn while at the studio.

Given the close proximity and nature of teaching pottery, we will do what we feel is best to keep our staff safe while they are at work. We appreciate your understanding!
