Our Instructors have tons of experience helping the complete beginners get started sculpting or potting, and also help coach the experienced artist as they explore the vast world of ceramics. Often, students will be engaged in their own projects and the instructors will look to the students to request a particular demonstration that might help them pursue an idea. Learn to throw on a potters wheel or sculpt an animal.  


Any class time is the time you can get instruction for pushing clay the way you say.

What's in a clay "class"

We call them classes because you'll be learning lots

Because our students have a wide range of experience, our classes are best described as clay coaching. Beginners receive hands-on instruction in handbuilding and wheel throwing while learning alongside more advanced students. Experienced students can refine their skills and receive guidance from a master ceramic artist on the technical and aesthetic aspects of ceramics.


All class times welcome complete beginners and students seeking advanced instruction. Click “Reserve My Class” below to get started.


We’ll respond to your request when space becomes available in your selected class time.


If you don’t receive confirmation, please resubmit your request each month.

Thank you for your patience!
