Adults (Ages 17+):

Our Adult (17+) pottery classes provides small group instruction in both wheel-throwing and hand-building techniques. Whether you’re a complete beginner or an experienced potter, our classes will meet you where you are, helping you develop new skills. You’ll receive 2 1/2 hours of instruction per week for 6-8 weeks (depending on the session), plus additional work time opportunities by signup throughout the session.

Youth and Teens: 

For young creators, we introduce kids ages 8-10 (age 7 with instructor permission) to the fundamentals of sculpture and hand-building with clay. Older students can also take wheel-throwing classes. During the school year, multi-week series enable students to explore their artistic side, developing skills in shaping, sculpting, and decorating clay. Week-long, half-day programs are available in the summer. 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.
