Better Your Skills with 'Class'Do you want to learn how to make pottery on a potters wheel? We have several pottery classes available to get you started. Whether you have never worked with clay or you've been doing it for years, our friendly, knowledgeable instructors will help you on your way to making your ceramic dreams come true.
You don't have to take advantage of our great classes to advance your skills. You can purchase a monthly studio access plan or pay by the hour to use our studio space. That means you can use the pottery wheels and all the handbuilding accessories, the glaze room and glaze tools to create your work of art. |
