Our 8-week adult pottery classes offer a supportive and creative environment for beginners and experienced makers alike. Meeting once a week for 2½-hour sessions, students explore wheel throwing, hand-building, glazing, and surface decoration techniques while developing their own unique projects. Tuition includes expert instruction and access to studio glazes, washes, and slips. Students purchase clay separately, with firing services available for completed work. Bring your creativity, a towel, and clothes you don’t mind getting messy—working with clay is hands-on, rewarding, and a lot of fun!
