Perfect for first-timers and people who want to try pottery, no experience necessary.
In this class you will learn how to make 2 unique pieces of pottery, no experience necessary! We will guide you through each step and teach you the basics of both pottery wheel throwing and hand-building. All materials, firing and glazing included.
In our kids pottery classes students will learn pottery basics and make their own pottery through fun instructor guided projects. This class is a great way for kids to exercise their creativity, focus and patience. We have both one-time classes and a 4-week series.
