Spring/Summer Workshops & Classes

We offer several class styles including multi-week classes—wheel and handbuilding—so you can master the craft, improve your skills, enjoy a new hobby or side hustle, to  be on your way to an independent pottery practise.

Also, can't commit to multi-week classes, drop in for a one-time workshop. Make a beer stein, a bird feeder, a sculpted frog, or decorate a big bowl...
