Our Classes and Workshops

Find Your Creativity

Shut off all the noise going on in your life

Put away the to-do lists

Set some time just for you!

 

This opens up space in your mind and allows the creativity to flow and have fun!  You don’t need to call yourself a creative person in order to try pottery. There are lots of tools and ideas here for inspiration.

We welcome you to the studio!

Classes run for 6 weeks in length and include all materials, tools and kiln firings. Classes have a small number of students so that you can get the most of your time with us.  Wheel class and handbuilding classes are limited to 8 people. This gives an excellent teacher-student ratio for great one on one guidance.  If you have never touched clay or it’s been a while, this is the perfect space for you to start! 

Workshops are one time events where we offer a variety of creative opportunities for you to escape day to day life and join us for a few hours of fun and creativity.

“I appreciate the extra time available to hand build when I got behind. The personal attention in each class was very helpful and things easier. Hands on at all times was excellent!

Great instructor, fun time, easy learning environment. Highly recommend!

Angela is a patient instructor, helpful, encouraging and a master of clay! Truly enjoyed the class. Love it!!”

“Laila was a calm, kind & creative teacher. She made her students comfortable in believing in their ideas and encouraged creativity. The studio is immaculate, well setup. An amazing experience and I will be back! Thanks so much for the opportunity to express myself!!

Laila was great. Very patient, knowledgeable and calm.”

“The handbuilding course far exceeded my expectations! We created far more than a basic pinch pot and were inspired by a wide variety of projects. Best of all… it was so much fun!”
