Adults (Ages 17+):

Our Adult Pottery class provides a semi-private experience tailored to individual needs and levels, offering personalized instruction in both wheel-throwing and hand-building techniques. Whether you’re a complete beginner or an experienced potter, this class will meet you where you are, helping you develop new skills. You’ll receive 3 hours of instruction per week for 6-8 weeks (depending on the session), plus an additional glazing class to finish your pieces. 

Adolescents/Teens: 

Our ages 10-12, 11-14, and 13-17 pottery classes are designed for students to develop their skills in both wheel-throwing and hand-building. Students will learn techniques in shaping, decorating, and glazing pottery, giving them the tools to express their creativity with clay. They’ll also have the opportunity to glaze their pieces in the final class. 

Youth: 

For young creators, this pottery class introduces kids ages 8-10 (age 7 with instructor permission) to the fundamentals of sculpture and hand-building with clay. Over the course of 4-6 creative pottery projects, students will explore their artistic side, developing skills in shaping, sculpting, and decorating clay by hand. Pieces will be carefully glazed and fired by staff. 

One-Time Workshops

Our one time hand-building and wheel-throwing workshops are wonderful opportunities for individuals, friends, family, and partners to create with clay. Workshops are mostly geared toward adults, but we sometimes offer youth or caregiver/child workshops as well.
