Note: This is a pet-friendly studio. While cleaning is regularly done, there will most likely be allergens present. Pets are welcomed with permission only.

During this 2-week pottery workshop, students will work on throwing pottery on the wheel. The focus of these sessions will be to help you improve your pottery wheel technique through practice and critique.

The class fee includes unlimited recycled clay. As this is an intensive, you will most likely not keep any pieces, however, you may keep up to two pieces, with bisque firing included. Glaze and glaze firing is additional.

There are general pottery supplies for use in the studio. Personal tool kits are also available to purchase for $15. Apron and towels are no longer provided for classes, so please bring your own.

A maximum of 4 students will be in the class, allowing for plenty of hands-on guidance as needed. You must be able to attend both sessions as no make up sessions will be offered. Once the class is full, a waitlist will open.
