The Experience

There is no set syllabus here; instead, we embrace the rhythm of the studio. Every week features a different project or technique, ranging from the meditative flow of the potter’s wheel to the intricate details of sculpting and handbuilding.

Possible projects include:

  • On the Wheel: Introduction to throwing. From mini’s to “wonky” bowls and more (Limited to 6 guests on throwing days!)

  • Sculpted Works: Honey pots, wine cups, and garlic keepers.

  • Slab & Surface: Wall vases, garden stakes, nature tiles, and carved candle holders.

  • Home Accents: Hump platters, mirrors, and our signature fish or rooster ovals.

  • Small and Dainty: Shoe lace charms, ornaments, and earrings

How it Works:

Flexible Attendance: Come once to try it out, or join us every week to build your skills.

  1. The Process: As with all things clay, your pieces won’t be ready to take home the same day. They need time to dry and undergo their first firing.

  2. Glazing: We will schedule dedicated glazing sessions so you can return to add the finishing colors and kiln-fired shine to your own creations.

All levels welcome:

Just bring your curiosity (and clothes you don’t mind getting a little dusty), we’ll provide the clay, the tools, and the inspiration!

Space is limited, book your spot for this Thursday!
